ICD 10 has this code for STEMI: 2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I21.3
ICD 10 has this code for NSTEMI: 2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I21.4

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".
