Sequence 4013, heart failure type, is indicating the patient's most recent type of heart failure as classified by the patient's left ventricular ejection fraction prior to the procedure. It can be coded based on physician diagnosis, such as HFREF would be coded as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, or on descriptive documentation that meets the definition in the data dictionary. Selections include heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, or HFREF, which is also referred to as systolic heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. This is heart failure in a patient with documented LVEF of 40% or less. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, HFPEF, is heart failure in a patient with documented LVEF of 50% or more. And lastly, heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction, HFMEF, is heart failure in a patient with documented LVEF of greater than 40 but less than 50. If the type of heart failure is unknown, then sequence 4014, heart failure type unknown, would be selected instead.
