Well, honey, an unconfirmed diagnosis ECG basically means the doctors aren't 100% sure what's going on with your heart just from looking at the test. It could be a false alarm, a glitch in the system, or maybe they just need more tests to nail down the issue. So, don't go jumping to conclusions just yet, let the professionals do their thing and figure it out.
we should not code the unconfirmed diagnosis in Outpatient charts
The difference is that the first is unconfirmed, while the second one is assume to be confirmed.
An unconfirmed diagnosis is a condition that has been suggested or suspected by a healthcare provider but has not been definitively confirmed through testing or evaluation. It typically requires further investigation or testing to establish a definitive diagnosis.

An ECG is a procedure with the use of an electro cariograph, this means, any disturbance in the machine can alter the results. If this happens, there may be false negatives leading to wrong diagnosis.
ECG and EKG mean the same thing, and it records the hearts electrical activity on a 6 second strip. The physician can make a diagnosis by looking at the EKG print out. If a 12-Lead EKG is used, then all walls and function of the heart will be recorded.
NSST on an ECG stands for non-specific ST, and is usually followed by the word "changes." Non-specific ST changes are alterations in the shape, height, or slope of the ST segment in the ECG that don't point to a particular diagnosis.
if its typed on the ecg as in the computer itself made the diagnosis it probably doesnt mean anything at all... and I'm serious the computer is terrible at reading ECG, however, if a Dr. says you have prominent right vent voltage it could indicate pulmonary hypertension or early sign congestive heart failure.
