{{Discuss| 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)

You may need to wait in the evolution of an acute MI to see whether it becomes transmural or not.  If not then it's subendocardial.  If not clear then it's [[Myocardial infarction, acute (AMI), NOS]].
