Coronary artery disease is a type of atherosclerosis in which plaque builds up inside the arteries that carry blood to the heart. As the artery walls thicken, the passageway for blood narrows. Sometimes platelets gather at the narrowing, forming a clot that decreases or prevents blood flow to the region of the heart supplied by the artery. Documented blockage ≥ 50% of one or more coronary arteries or documentation of CAD in H&P. Documentation of angina, myocardial infarction (MI), CABG, PCI*, or sudden cardiac death with no known cause may be included. *Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) includes angioplasty, coronary atherectomy and coronary artery stenting. Harvest Codes: Code: Value: Yes No SeqNo: 480 Long Name: Myocardial Infarction - Preoperative Evaluation Short Name: PreMI Definition: Indicate if the patient has a history of a non-Q wave or a Q-wave myocardial infarction Intent/Clarification: Harvest Codes: Code: Value: Yes No SeqNo: 490 Long Name: Afib per EKG within the last year Short Name: AFIB Definition: Indicate if the patient had Afib per EKG within the last year; with or without treatment Intent/Clarification: Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib or AF) is an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. This data element is only capturing Afib. Do not include Aflutter.
