STEMI

STEMI "ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction".

ICD10 does not have a diagnosis "STEMI". Instead, use the appropriate code(s) in

Myocardial Infarction codes:
Acute myocardial infarction complication of Dressler's syndrome (postmyocardial infarction syndrome) Acute myocardial infarction complication of atrial septal defect (ASD) Acute myocardial infarction complication of cardiac (intracardiac) mural thrombus Acute myocardial infarction complication of cardiac rupture Acute myocardial infarction complication of ventricular septal defect (VSD) Acute myocardial infarction complication, NOS Chordae tendineae, rupture Myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), acute (AMI), subendocardial/non-transmural (non-Q-wave) Myocardial infarction (STEMI), acute (AMI), transmural (Q-wave) Myocardial infarction, acute (AMI), NOS Papillary muscle, rupture Past history, myocardial infarction (old MI)

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.

This used to be called as a STEMI, but as of 2023-05-24 the overhead code is being changed to "ACS PROTOCOL-ADULT EMERGENCY".
