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: Healed myocardial infarction -- Past myocardial infarction diagnosed by ECG or other special investigation, but currently presenting no symptoms.
  • 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.
    • Examples: Papillary muscle rupture or Ongoing angina related to a recent MI prior to this unit/ward admission.
  • For a 'missed MI: code it as one of the "...acute..." codes if the missed MI is being treated as an acute MI
