Questions:

Explain the relationship between rheumatic fever and heart valve disease.
How long is the acute phase of a myocardial infarction?
What is intermediate coronary syndrome?
If a person is admitted with a diagnosis of unstable angina and undergoes tests that reveal coronary atherosclerosis, which of these conditions is the principal diagnosis?
If a patient has congestive cardiomyopathy associated with CHF, are both conditions coded since they are very similar?
When can cardiac arrest be used as a principal diagnosis?
When can cardiac arrest be used as a secondary diagnosis?
If a patient had a CVA earlier (like months ago and not on this admit) and has no residuals, how is it coded?
When coding hypertension, is there an assumed relationship between hypertension and heart disease?
When coding secondary hypertension, which is sequenced first - the hypertension or the condition?
Does an elevated blood pressure reading establish a diagnosis of hypertension?
Explain the difference between a TIA and a CVA.
Patient is admitted with a diagnosis of TIA. On admit patient had dysphasia and hemiparesis with both clearing prior to discharge. Would you code the dysphasia and hemiparesis? Why?
What is a STEMI?
What is an NSTEMI?
If the coder cannot find information as to whether an MI is a STEMI or NSTEMI which one is the default?
How is a NSTEMI MI that evolves into a STEMI MI coded? - as a STEMI or NSTEMI?
Patient enters the E.R. with possible STEMI MI. TPA was given and patient converts to NSTEMI MI prior to admission. Would this admission be coded as a STEMI MI or NSTEMI MI?
Be sure to review the information about Acute MI codes vs Subsequent MI codes. An acute MI is coded to I21 while a subsequent MI is coded to I22. Scenario: Patient was admitted in an acute MI and discharged. Two months later patient is admitted again with a new MI. Which codes would be used and what is principal?
Diagnosis is documented as R and L heart failure. Would the coder code both right and left heart failures (two codes)?
When an existing pacemaker device is replaced with a new device, the type of device removed does not affect the removal code. True/False?
When code a replacement of a pacemaker device with a new device, the type of device inserted does affect the insertion code. True/False?
