LOINC Code 77891-0: Left ventricular Ejection fraction by US.2D+Calculated by Teichholz method

77891-0 is a LOINC code used to identify Left ventricular Ejection fraction by US.2D+Calculated by Teichholz method in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Ejection fraction. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Heart.ventricle.left.

What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Ejection fraction. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Heart.ventricle.left.

When is it used?

  • Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
  • May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
  • Status: ACTIVE
  • Order vs observation: Observation
  • Method: US.2D+Calculated by Teichholz method

What it does not mean

  • The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Left ventricular Ejection fraction by US.2D+Calculated by Teichholz method
Ejection fraction
This term represents the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) based on left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes as calculated by the Teichholz method from measurements taken during 2D cardiac echo. The Teichholz formula is used to calculate left ventricular volume as followsLV end-diastolic volume = [7/2.4 + Dd]x[Dd]^3, where Dd = the left ventricular internal dimension (short axis) as measured at end-diastole, and LV end-systolic volume = [7/2.4 + Ds]x[Ds]^3, where Ds = the left ventricular internal dimension (short axis) as measured at end-systole.
