| * The term coronary insufficiency is rarely used and usually once the patient is in the unit for a few hours they know whether an infarct has occured or not. Unstable angina is used if the diagnosis is Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS) and there is no evidence of infarct, only ischemia. If an MI is evident, it is either NSTEMI or STEMI, depending on the 12 lead evidence and enzymes. I think we should check with a cardiologist to see if the term coronary insufficiency has value in our program any more since the new terminology took effect. By the way ACS is the correct terminology for many years already.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:20, 14 April 2009 (CDT)

| * At our most recent meeting on April 8,2009 Trish said if the doctors are calling the cardiac chest pain "unstable angina" code it that way. If they are calling the cardiac chest pain coronary insufficiency then code it that way.She mentioned taking away the definitions in the code book.
