Demand Ischemia v. Type 2 NSTEMI
Note: both are due to O2 supply-demand mismatch between a patient's myocardium and the coronary arteries which it supplies. However, Demand Ischemia is a term that codes to a comorbid condition (CC) while the terminology of Type 2 NSTEMI codes to major comorbid condition (MCC).
Type 2 NSTEMI is a major comorbid condition (MCC) and shows that the patient is very sick.
If your patient is truly ill and has an elevated troponin level above the 99th percentile, please consider documenting a Type 2 NSTEMI as opposed to demand ischemia to more accurately reflect your patient's severity of illness. This will show that your patient is as sick on paper as they are in the bed.
Not Sick (No SOI) Troponinemia
Sick (Low SOI)=CC Demand Ischemia
Very Sick (High SOI)=MCC Type 2 NSTEMI
