Inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI) occurs from a coronary artery occlusion with resultant decreased perfusion to that region of the myocardium. Unless there is timely treatment, this results in myocardial ischemia followed by infarction.
ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving other coronary artery of inferior wall. I21. 19 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I21.
According to our angiography database, despite anterior wall MI is associated with more severity of coronary artery disease; inferior wall MI is more extent with regard to the number of involved coronary vessels. Location of MI can predict the severity and extension of infarction.

ICD-Code I10 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Essential (Primary) Hypertension. Its corresponding ICD-9 code is 401.
The inferior border runs from the 6th costal cartilage on the right, through the xiphisternal joint, to the 5th intercostal space on the left. It runs as far as the midclavicular line. Because this inferior border lies along the surface of the diaphragm, it is often referred to as the "diaphragmatic" surface.
Upon ECG analysis, inferior STEMI displays ST-elevation in leads II, III, and aVF.
An inferior wall MI — also known as IWMI, or inferior MI, or inferior ST segment elevation MI, or inferior STEMI — occurs when inferior myocardial tissue supplied by the right coronary artery, or RCA, is injured due to thrombosis of that vessel.

Acute myocardial infarction, unspecified I21. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I21. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
An acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an event in which transmural myocardial ischemia results in myocardial injury or necrosis. [1] The current 2018 clinical definition of myocardial infarction (MI) requires the confirmation of the myocardial ischemic injury with abnormal cardiac biomarkers.
An inferior wall MI — also known as IWMI, or inferior MI, or inferior ST segment elevation MI, or inferior STEMI — occurs when inferior myocardial tissue supplied by the right coronary artery, or RCA, is injured due to thrombosis of that vessel.
an inferior STEMI. An anterior STEMI is the front wall of the heart, and the most serious. A posterior STEMI is the back wall of the heart. An inferior STEMI is the bottom wall of the heart.
Upon ECG analysis, inferior STEMI displays ST-elevation in leads II, III, and aVF. There are subtle differences in the ECG pattern depending on the artery occluded. Reciprocal changes (ST-segment depression) may be seen in lead aVL [6].
Code STEMI is a program designed to help medical professionals recognize heart attacks and immediately activate a protocol that ensures patients receive lifesaving care as quickly as possible. At NHRMC, we focus on reducing heart attack treatment times to give the best chance for a full recovery.
