CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#4160 (Most Recent LVEF %)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript discusses the Importance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in determining the need for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). It explains that the most recent LVEF percentage cited by the physician within the past year before the procedure should be documented. If not available, any recent LVEF assessment from LV gram, echo, MRI, CT, or nuclear testing should be used. The percentage should be entered between 1 to 99, with a range coded to the lowest number, and less or greater than values rounded to the nearest whole number. In cases where a numeric value is missing, consulting the clinician is necessary for accurate documentation.
