MI - acute vs past history

To decide whether to code an acute MI dx in the Admit Diagnosis or Acquired Diagnosis / Complication, or a Past history, myocardial infarction (old MI) in the Comorbid Diagnosis, consider the following:

• Regarding an MI that occured prior to the current hospitalization -- might be coded as either Comorbid Diagnosis, or a Past history, myocardial infarction (old MI)
• In ICD10 the code for Past history, myocardial infarction (old MI) reads as follows:
  • Includes: Healed myocardial infarction
    • Past myocardial infarction diagnosed by ECG or other special investigation, but currently presenting no symptoms.

• If the prior MI is still active and we're not dealing with any current complications of it, then instead use one of the AMI codes, as a Comorbid Diagnosis.

• If the prior MI is still active and we are dealing with any current complications of it, then instead use one of the AMI codes, as a Admit Diagnosis.

template I tweaked this because the "or" in the previous seemed wrong and it didn't address the acute / admit dx side. If I got it right pls just take this out, else pls fix.
