For the purposes of this article, ACS is a catch-all term for cardiac symptoms that may or may not include an MI. Doctors use the term in the charts, making it difficult for data collectors to know which dx to use.
Discussion
- ACS should be added to the code book because it encompasses everything from USA to MI. It is used often in the notes by Doctors. Disussion is requested by the collectors --JHutton 10:16, 11 June 2008 (CDT)
