Chest Pain-MI v3.2 Education-Patient Evaluation Prior Testing

Patient Evaluation Prior Testing

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript explains how to code patient testing and imaging data for chest pain/ACS evaluation. It defines when prior functional stress test results and anatomical imaging results should be captured, specifies applicable patient types, and distinguishes negative, positive, indeterminate, unavailable, and not performed results. It also outlines CAD type categories—non-obstructive, moderate, obstructive, and known—based on stenosis percentages and vessel size. Guidance is given on selecting the most recent CTA or diagnostic catheterization when both are available, and on coding based on left main and other coronary vessel involvement.
