Wiki DX help

[az2tn@yahoo.com]

I'm reviewing a pt's record who had a Cardiac perfusion study done (78452). The reason for exam was chest pain. In the impression it states that the study reveals scintigraphic evidence of anterior/antral septal thinning seen from the mid ventricle toward the apex. I'm having a hard time finding a DX for this. Help please

Would V81.2 work (screening for cardiovascular conditions NEC/NOS)?

You cannot use a screening code since the pt was symptomatic, I would code the chest pain. The study results have not been interpreted as of yet for any diagnostic significance.
