Comments
Guide for use:
A person may be taking one or more type of medication for acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Therefore more than one code may be recorded.
The pharmacotherapies for the treatment of ACS that could be taken post discharge from hospital are different from the types that could be taken during the hospital stay as not all of the pharmacotherapies used for the treatment of ACS are for out of hospital use.
