LOINC Code 77920-7: Left ventricular Myocardial mass/Height exp 2.7 [Mass/Area] by US 2D

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 Myocardial mass/Height exp 2.7. 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

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Left ventricular Myocardial mass/Height exp 2.7 [Mass/Area] by US 2D
• Myocardial mass/Height exp 2.7
• The myocardial index is the left ventricular (LV) mass normalized for body size, which can be approximated by different measures including body surface area (BSA) and height. This term represents an index based on height^2.7.
