Video Summary

In the video, the AFib Ablation Registry presents a case scenario involving coding for CHADS-VASC-CHF sequence number 4005. The patient, Mr. Edwards, is admitted for an AFib ablation procedure and has a history of persistent AFib, ischemic stroke, and hypertension. Although there is no documented diagnosis or history of CHF, the patient takes Lasix daily and has a NYHA Class of 2. The question is about coding sequence 4005-CHF based on the medication regimen. The answer is yes, as the patient's CHF is being medically treated with Lasix. In a bonus question, even without daily Lasix intake, a NYHA class of 2 can still be used to code yes for CHADS-VASC-CHF. The video also mentions various options for coding the CHADS-VASC elements related to heart failure. The AFib Ablation Registry Monthly Case Scenario for December 2022 can be found at www.afib.nlm.nih.gov.
