2024 ICD-10 guideline changes:

  • Under section I.C.9.e. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the following is added to the guidelines:
6) Myocardial Infarction with Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a condition that impacts the microvasculature by restricting microvascular flow and increasing microvascular resistance. Code I21.B, Myocardial infarction with coronary microvascular dysfunction, is assigned for myocardial infarction with coronary microvascular disease, myocardial infarction with coronary microvascular dysfunction, and myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) with microvascular disease.

ICD-10-CM code I21.B is newly added for FY 2024 and also describes myocardial infraction with coronary microvascular disease and myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) with microvascular disease.
