CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#7060 (LVEF % (Diagnostic Left Heart Cath)

Video Transcription

Sequence 7061 LVEF percent diagnostic left heart cath captures the best estimate of the current left ventricular ejection fraction meeting the target value of start of procedure  and prior to the PCI intervention. Please enter a percentage in the range of 1 to 99. If a percentage range is reported, you would report the lowest number of the range.  For example, if it was 50 to 55 percent ejection fraction, 50 would be coded. If only a descriptive value is reported, enter the corresponding percentage value from the list below.  Normal would be coded as 60 percent. Good function would be coded as 50 percent. Mildly reduced, 45. Fair function, 40. Moderately reduced, 30 percent. Poor function, 25 percent.  And severely reduced, 20 percent. If the left ventricular ejection fraction was not assessed or not measured to meet the  target value, then select 13306 left ventricular ejection fraction not assessed.

Video Summary

The left heart cath procedure assesses the current left ventricular ejection fraction before PCI intervention. The ejection fraction is expressed in percentage form, with values ranging from 1 to 99. Specific descriptions such as "normal" correspond to coded values: normal (60%), good function (50%), mildly reduced (45%), fair function (40%), moderately reduced (30%), poor function (25%), or severely reduced (20%). If the ejection fraction is not evaluated, the code entered is 13306 left ventricular ejection fraction not assessed.
