What it is?

ŸA measurement of how much blood the left ventricle pumps out with each contraction.

ŸEjection fraction is a test that determines how well your heart pumps with each beat.

ŸEjection fraction is a measurement of the percentage of blood leaving your heart each time it contracts.

ŸThe left ventricle is the heart's main pumping chamber

What does it mean?

An ejection fraction of 60 percent means that 60 percent of the total amount of blood in the left ventricle is pushed out with each heartbeat.

ŸA normal heart's ejection fraction may be between 55 and 70.

ŸA measurement under 40 may be evidence of heart failure or cardiomyopathy.

ŸAn EF between 40 and 55 indicates damage, perhaps from a previous heart attack, but it may not indicate heart failure.

ŸEF higher than 75 percent may indicate a heart condition like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
