I22.0 is the authoritative medical code for Subsequent ST elevation STEMI myocardial infarction of anterior wall. This classification is used in medical billing and clinical recording to specify the clinical criteria for subsequent st elevation stemi myocardial infarction of anterior wall (ICD-10-CM I22.0), ensuring healthcare documentation aligns with 2026 federal coding standards.
Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.
Official Registry Overview & Definition
Subsequent ST elevation STEMI myocardial infarction of anterior wall is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code I22.0. Includes: acute myocardial infarction occurring within four weeks (28 days) of a previous acute myocardial infarction, regardless of site; cardiac infarction; coronary artery embolism; coronary artery occlusion; coronary artery rupture; coronary artery thrombosis; infarction of heart, myocardium, or ventricle; recurrent myocardial infarction; reinfarction of myocardium; rupture of heart, myocardium, or ventricle; subsequent type 1 myocardial infarction. Inclusion terms: Subsequent acute transmural myocardial infarction of anterior wall; Subsequent transmural (Q wave) infarction acute(of) anterior wall NOS; Subsequent anteroapical transmural (Q wave) infarction acute; Subsequent anterolateral transmural (Q wave) infarction acute; Subsequent anteroseptal transmural (Q wave) infarction acute. Excludes1 (not coded here): subsequent myocardial infarction, type 2 I21.A1; subsequent myocardial infarction of other type (type 3) (type 4) (type 5) I21.A9. Use additional code: code, if applicable, to identify:; exposure to environmental tobacco smoke Z77.22; history of tobacco dependence Z87.891; occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke Z57.31; status post administration of tPA rtPA in a different facility within the last 24 hours prior to admission to current facility Z92.82; tobacco dependence F17.-; tobacco use Z72.0. Code also: the presence of hypertension I10-I1A.

Is an additional code needed with I22.0?
Use additional code(s) to specify: code, if applicable, to identify:; exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z77.22); history of tobacco dependence (Z87.891); occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (Z57.31).
What conditions are included under I22.0?
