CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#5256 (Agatston Calcium Score Assessed)

Video Transcription

Sequence 5256, agastin calcium score assessed, is indicating if the agastin coronary calcium score was assessed between birth or previous procedure and current procedure.  When the target value is separated into two distinct thoughts, it is easier to apply to the patient scenario.  When the patient presents for a new episode of care, apply this portion of the target value. The last value between birth and current procedure.  When the patient presents to the cath lab after having a diagnostic or PCI procedure during the episode of care, apply this portion of the target value.  Last value between previous procedure and current procedure. As most patients are presenting from home to an ambulatory surgery center or office  based lab, this portion of the target value will almost always be applied, capturing an agastin calcium score performed anytime between birth and the current procedure, regardless  of a history of a prior PCI or CABG.

Video Summary

The video discusses the assessment of agastin calcium scores to determine the coronary calcium score between previous procedures and the current one for patients seeking care. By separating the values into distinct thoughts, healthcare providers can easily apply the scores to patient scenarios. The focus is on applying the calcium score from the last test between birth and the current procedure for new care episodes. For patients returning to the cath lab after previous procedures, the focus is on the last value between the previous procedure and the current one. Typically, patients visiting ambulatory centers or office labs will have the score applied, covering tests from birth to the current procedure regardless of prior procedures.
