| ****I agree with you that the wording or classifications are used differently now. At the VIC if it is not clearly an STEMI or a NSTEMI we use Acute Coronary Insufficiency. If they have a history of chest pain that is not described as Unstable angina, we use 152 - Chronic stable angina. I would like us to be to use the classification ACS (unless it is clearly an NSTEMI) [[User:JWinestock|JWinestock]] 17:06, 3 March 2009 (CST)JWinestock

| 151 UNSTABLE ANGINA PAIN < 15 MIN. RELIEVED BY NITRO OR @ REST
| | Chest pain due to a clot which decreases but does not block blood flow. The chest pain is either the new onset of angina or a change in the usual pattern of chest pain or discomfort (getting worse, lasting longer, occurs with less exercise or other stimuli than usual or not being relieved with rest or use of medications). |
| **I think unstable angina and coronary insuffiency have incorrect descriptions in our code book. Unstable angina is angina that is "UNSTABLE" it occurs at rest often lasts more than 15 minutes and needs more aggressive interventions with nitro spray,oxygen,IV morphine. Coronary insufficiency lasts less than 15 minutes and is managed well with nitrospray and rest.The most comman thing we see with the charts is the term "ACS" which emcompasses unstable angina,NSTEMI and STEMI.I would like to know how other collectors are coding patients with cardiac chest pain?[[User:GHall|GHall]] 11:56, 2 March 2009 (CST)

| | Unstable angina is dangerous as may be NSTEMI or become a STEMI, and requires urgent intervention, such as adjustment of medications and angioplasty with stents. - [[p:Marla Penner]] - 12:12, 2014 October 14 (CDT) |
