What affects ejection fraction values?

Ejection fraction values are affected by conditions that reduce ventricle activity, such as ineffective blood circulation, faulty valves, weakened muscle tissue, or tissue death. Cardiologists use imaging studies to evaluate cardiac action and ejection fraction values. Treatment depends on the cause of low values. Normal values range from 50% to 75%, and problems arise when […]

What’s an ejection fraction?

Ejection fraction measures the percentage of blood pumped from a ventricle with each heartbeat. It is used to determine prognosis in heart patients and is measured through various imaging techniques. A normal LVEF ranges from 50 to 70%. An ejection fraction is a measurement of what percentage of blood is pumped from one ventricle into […]

LV ejection fraction: what is it?

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measures the heart’s ability to pump blood and is used to diagnose and monitor heart failure. It is determined by echocardiography and reflects the strength of the heart. Low LVEF values suggest heart failure, while high values can indicate heart disease. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a measure of […]
