CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#5256 (Agatston Calcium Score Assessed)

Video Transcription

Sequence 5256, agastin calcium score assessed, is indicating if the agastin coronary calcium score was assessed between birth or previous procedure and current procedure.  When the target value is separated into two distinct thoughts, it is easier to apply to the patient scenario.  When the patient presents for a new episode of care, apply this portion of the target value. The last value between birth and current procedure.  When the patient presents to the cath lab after having a diagnostic or PCI procedure during the episode of care, apply this portion of the target value.  Last value between previous procedure and current procedure. As most patients are presenting from home to an ambulatory surgery center or office  based lab, this portion of the target value will almost always be applied, capturing an agastin calcium score performed anytime between birth and the current procedure, regardless  of a history of a prior PCI or CABG.

Video Summary

The agastin calcium score's sequence 5256 is used to assess if the score was measured between birth or a past procedure and the current one. It's easier to apply by focusing on two separate thoughts: for new care episodes, use the last value between birth and the current procedure; for cath lab visits after a procedure, use the last value between the previous procedure and the current one. This is particularly applicable for patients visiting ambulatory centers or labs, aiming to capture the agastin calcium score from birth to the current procedure, disregarding past PCI or CABG history.
