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.
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.
Inferior STEMI is usually caused by occlusion of the right coronary artery, or less commonly the left circumflex artery, causing infarction of the inferior wall of the heart [6, 7]. Upon ECG analysis, inferior STEMI displays ST-elevation in leads II, III, and aVF.
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-10 Code for ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction of unspecified site- I21. 3- Codify by AAPC.
The inferior tip of the heart, the apex, lies just to the left of the sternum between the junction of the fourth and fifth ribs near their articulation with the costal cartilages. The right side of the heart is deflected anteriorly, and the left side is deflected posteriorly.
The ECG findings of an inferior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction include:ST segment elevation in the inferior leads (II, III, and aVF) of at least 1 mm.Reciprocal ST segment depression in the lateral and/or high lateral leads (I, aVL, V5 and V6).
Inferior STEMI:Marked ST elevation in II, III and aVF with early Q-wave formation.Reciprocal changes in aVL.ST elevation in lead III > II with reciprocal change present in lead I and ST elevation in V1-2 suggests RCA occlusion with associated RV infarction: This patient should have right-sided leads to confirm this.
While inferior wall MIs traditionally have a good prognosis, there are a few factors that may increase mortality. Approximately 40% of inferior wall infarctions also involve the right ventricle. Right ventricular infarctions are very pre-load dependent, and nitrates may precipitate a drop in blood pressure.
An inferior myocardial infarction (MI) is a heart attack or cessation of blood flow to the heart muscle that involves the inferior side of the heart. Inferior MI results from the total occlusion of either the right coronary artery in 85% of the cases or the left circumflex in 15% of the cases.
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.
