    Study Notes

    Myocardial Infarction

    Diagnosis

    • ECG changes:
      • ST-segment elevation or depression
      • T-wave inversion
      • Q-waves
    • Biomarkers:
      • Troponin I or T (cTnI or cTnT)
      • Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB)
    • Imaging:
      • Echocardiography (ECG)
      • Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
      • Radionuclide imaging
    • Clinical features:
      • Chest pain or discomfort
      • Shortness of breath
      • Fatigue
      • Nausea and vomiting

    Treatment Options

    • Pharmacological:
      • Antiplatelet agents (aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors)
      • Anticoagulants (heparin, warfarin)
      • Beta blockers
      • ACE inhibitors or ARBs
      • Nitrates
    • Interventional:
      • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
      • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
    • Other:
      • Oxygen therapy
      • Pain management

    ICD-10 Codes

    • I21: Acute myocardial infarction
      • I21.0: Anterior wall myocardial infarction
      • I21.1: Inferior wall myocardial infarction
      • I21.2: Other specified sites of myocardial infarction
      • I21.3: Unspecified site of myocardial infarction
    • I22: Subsequent myocardial infarction
      • I22.0: Anterior wall myocardial infarction
      • I22.1: Inferior wall myocardial infarction
      • I22.2: Other specified sites of myocardial infarction
      • I22.3: Unspecified site of myocardial infarction

    Myocardial Infarction

    Diagnosis

    • ECG changes are characteristic of myocardial infarction, including ST-segment elevation or depression, T-wave inversion, and Q-waves.
    • Troponin I or T (cTnI or cTnT) and Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) are biomarkers used to diagnose myocardial infarction.
    • Imaging techniques used to diagnose myocardial infarction include echocardiography (ECG), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radionuclide imaging.
    • Clinical features of myocardial infarction include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, and nausea and vomiting.

    Treatment Options

    • Pharmacological treatment options for myocardial infarction include antiplatelet agents (aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors), anticoagulants (heparin, warfarin), beta blockers, ACE inhibitors or ARBs, and nitrates.
    • Interventional treatment options include percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
    • Other treatment options include oxygen therapy and pain management.

    ICD-10 Codes

    • ICD-10 code I21 is used to classify acute myocardial infarction, with subcodes specifying the location of the infarction (anterior wall, inferior wall, other specified sites, or unspecified site).
    • ICD-10 code I22 is used to classify subsequent myocardial infarction, with subcodes specifying the location of the infarction (anterior wall, inferior wall, other specified sites, or unspecified site).

    ICD-10 Coding Guidelines

    • Myocardial infarction (MI) codes are found in Chapter 9 of the ICD-10-CM manual
    • MI codes are categorized by type of MI, location, and episode of care (initial or subsequent)

    Myocardial Infarction Types

    • ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is defined by the presence of ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG)
    • STEMI is a medical emergency requiring prompt intervention
    • Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) is defined by the absence of ST segment elevation on an ECG
    • NSTEMI is often diagnosed based on cardiac biomarkers and clinical presentation

    Myocardial Infarction Diagnosis

    • Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical presentation, electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, and elevated cardiac biomarkers
    • Typical rise and fall of cardiac biomarkers are required for diagnosis
    • ECG changes indicative of ischemia or infarction are required for diagnosis
    • Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium is required for diagnosis

    Cardiac Biomarkers

    • Cardiac biomarkers are used to diagnose and monitor MI
    • Common biomarkers include troponin (TnI or TnT) and creatine kinase (CK) and its isoforms (CK-MB)
    • Biomarkers are typically measured at presentation and at regular intervals thereafter

    ICD-10 Coding Examples

    • I21.0: ST elevation myocardial infarction of anterior wall
    • I21.1: ST elevation myocardial infarction of inferior wall
    • I21.2: ST elevation myocardial infarction of other specified sites
    • I21.3: Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
    • I21.01: ST elevation myocardial infarction of anterior wall, initial episode
    • I21.11: ST elevation myocardial infarction of inferior wall, subsequent episode
