HI,
if it is a radiology report you should code only V72.81 , there is no other code able information in this scenario ''anteroseptal infarct age undetermined'' this is diagnosis is not conformed diagnosis so this should not code..
Thanks,

It states abnormal EKG so why not 79431? The MI says AGE is undetermined how about 41010?
