Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this case, Mrs. Sharma's recurrent symptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes are documented, which supports coding "yes" for condition history of symptoms during AFib-A-Flutter in sequence 15.510. However, specific symptoms like dyspnea on exertion from nine months ago do not meet the recent target timeframe for sequence 15.723, which focuses on symptoms within 90 days before the procedure. Consequently, the code "other" is used due to lack of detailed recent symptom documentation. The AFect patient questionnaire could be a valuable resource for capturing relevant symptoms leading to the procedure.
