Template:ICD10 Guideline MI acute vs past history
This template is used to explain when to use current vs past history of MI.
To use:
{{MI acute vs past history}}
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.
- Includes: Healed myocardial infarction
- 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.
