- | * All Relationships are directional, and each Concept Relationship is represented twice symmetrically within the CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP table. For example, the two SNOMED concepts of ‘Acute myocardial infarction of the anterior wall’ and ‘Acute myocardial infarction’ have two Concept Relationships: 1- ‘Acute myocardial infarction of the anterior wall’ ‘Is a’ ‘Acute myocardial infarction’, and 2- ‘Acute myocardial infarction’ ‘Subsumes’ ‘Acute myocardial infarction of the anterior wall’. | + | * All Relationships are directional, and each Concept Relationship is represented twice symmetrically within the [[documentation:cdm:concept_relationship|CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP]] table.

* Since all Concept Relationships exist with their mirror image (concept_id_1 and concept_id_2 swapped, and the relationship_id replaced by the reverse_relationship_id from the [[documentation:cdm:relationship|RELATIONSHIP]] table), it is not necessary to query for the existence of a relationship both in the concept_id_1 and concept_id_2 fields. | * Since all Concept Relationships exist with their mirror image (concept_id_1 and concept_id_2 swapped, and the relationship_id replaced by the reverse_relationship_id from the [[documentation:cdm:relationship|RELATIONSHIP]] table), it is not necessary to query for the existence of a relationship both in the concept_id_1 and concept_id_2 fields. |
