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, 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.
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".
