Seq#7060 (LVEF % (Diagnostic Left Heart Cath)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The left ventricular ejection fraction percentage is a crucial diagnostic in cardiac procedures, with specific values indicating different levels of heart function. Ranging from normal (60%) to severely reduced (20%), clinicians must enter the corresponding percentage accurately during left heart cath procedures before PCI intervention. If the ejection fraction is not measured, the code 13306 can be used as “left ventricular ejection fraction not assessed.” This process ensures that the best estimate of the current heart function is recorded to guide appropriate medical intervention.
