MI - acute vs past history

• The question comes up of whether, in the "bin" of comorbid (preexisting) conditions, to use this code, or to use Past history, myocardial infarction (old MI).
  • Both may be used for an MI that occurred prior to the current hospitalization.
  • The general guideline is that if the prior MI is not active, and we're not dealing with any current complications of it, then use this code.
  • But if the prior MI is still active and/or we're not dealing with any current complications of it, then instead use one of the AMI codes.
