Seq#4160 (Most Recent LVEF %)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The most recent left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) percentage, cited by the implanting physician as the indication for the ICD within the last 12 months before the procedure, should be entered as a percentage between 1 and 99. In the absence of this specific percentage, any recent LVEF assessed through various means such as LV gram, echo, MRI, CT, or nuclear testing should be used. If a range is given, the lowest number should be coded. If a measurement is reported as less than or greater than a specific number, code to the nearest whole number. If no numeric value is provided, consult the clinician for documentation.
