Seq#4010 (NYHA Functional Classification)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, it is explained that the New York Heart Association functional classification in a patient's medical record must be specified when they have a history of heart failure. This classification ranges from least limiting (class 1) to most limiting (class 4) based on physician documentation at the time of the current procedure. It is important for the registry that this information is accurately documented, rather than being interpreted by the abstractor based on patient symptoms.
