Seq#7500 (Coronary Circulation Dominance)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Coronary circulation dominance focuses on identifying the main supplier to the inferior left ventricle surface during coronary catheterization. Patients usually present with diverse coronary anatomy, reflected through the origin and distribution of the posterior descending artery. This can be categorized as left, right, or codominant based on where these arteries arise from, influencing perfusion distribution. The registry codes this information using detailed documentation from the data dictionary or physician notes. Dominance remains constant unless the patient has had a heart transplant, in which case the new heart's dominance determines the coding. This approach ensures accuracy in capturing coronary circulation dominance for medical records.
