Clinical Documentation Improvement

PHYSICIANS

Please Document the Acuity and Type of CHF:

|ACUITY |

|Acute |

|Acute on Chronic |

|Chronic |

|TYPE |

|Diastolic Heart Failure |

| |

|● Evidence of diastolic dysfunction =impaired relaxation; heart |

|does not properly let blood in. |

| |

|● Evidence of normal ventricular systolic function with an EF >50% or high normal EF due to smaller left ventricular size |

| |

|●Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy/thickening & abnormal diastolic filling resulting in impaired relaxation and poor filling|

|Systolic Heart Failure |

| |

|●Evidence of systolic dysfunction =impaired contraction ;heart |

|does not properly let blood out due to thickened left ventricle |

| |

|●EF < 40% or abnormally low EF |

| |

|●Left ventricular dilation/enlargement & Low cardiac output from impaired emptying |
