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

Video Transcription

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.
