Acute coronary thrombosis not resulting in myocardial infarction
ICD-10 I24.0 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of acute coronary thrombosis not resulting in myocardial infarction.
Acute coronary thrombosis not resulting in myocardial infarction (MI) refers to the formation of a blood clot within a coronary artery that leads to a temporary obstruction of blood flow to the heart muscle without causing permanent damage. Clinically, patients may present with chest pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of angina. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. Disease progression can vary; while some patients may experience spontaneous resolution of symptoms, others may develop more severe coronary artery disease over time. Diagnostic considerations include electrocardiograms (ECGs), cardiac enzyme tests, and imaging studies to assess blood flow and identify the presence of thrombosis. It is crucial to differentiate this condition from myocardial infarction, as the management and prognosis differ significantly.

I24.0 covers acute coronary thrombosis that does not lead to myocardial infarction, including cases where there is transient ischemia without permanent damage to the heart muscle.
I24.0 should be used when there is evidence of acute coronary thrombosis without myocardial infarction, as indicated by normal cardiac enzyme levels and specific diagnostic findings.
Documentation should include clinical notes detailing the patient's symptoms, results of ECG and cardiac enzyme tests, and any imaging studies that confirm the diagnosis of acute coronary thrombosis without myocardial infarction.
