This code is only used for an Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) '''when the more specific type is unknown'''(i.e. [[Myocardial infarction (STEMI), acute (AMI), transmural (Q-wave)|Q-wave]], [[Myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), acute (AMI), subendocardial/non-transmural (non-Q-wave)|non-Q-wave]]).

{{DiscussTask| ICD 10 has this code for STEMI: 
'''2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I21.3''' 
* ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site that includes transmural (Q wave) infarction


ICD 10 has this code for NSTEMI:
'''2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I21.4''' 
* Non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction that includes Nontransmural myocardial infarction NOS
Would it be less labor intensive for collectors to be able to use these codes instead of MI codes dependent upon development (or not) of Q waves as this is problematic to determine. Thank you, [[User:Ppiche|Pamela Piche]] 07:49, 2024 April 5 (CDT)
* I have added this to TASK, in 2019 ICD 10 did not have STEMI/NSTEMI codes, now in the 2024 version they do, I agree with Pam can we switch to the new codes? [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 15:10, 2024 April 5 (CDT)
