Intra or Post-Procedure Event Types - Myocardial Infarction

Video Transcription

Myocardial infarction is captured when the patient experiences a new occurrence of biomarker-positive myocardial infarction.  At least one determination of biomarkers obtained no sooner than 6 hours after the procedure and preferably within the interval of 6 to 24 hours post-procedure should be used.  The notes further clarify for sites to code yes when there's new Q waves diagnosed by  advanced practice professionals are present with absent, incomplete, or inconclusive biomarkers.  Additionally, when biomarkers are not obtained in the setting of post-PCI acute MI, yes will be coded.

Video Summary

The video discusses how myocardial infarction is diagnosed based on the presence of biomarkers within a specified timeframe post-procedure. It details the criteria for coding a new occurrence of myocardial infarction, emphasizing the importance of biomarker testing. It also mentions coding guidelines for cases where new Q waves are detected in the absence of conclusive biomarkers and in situations where biomarkers are not obtained post-procedure for acute myocardial infarction cases.
