Ejection fraction (EF) measures the amount of blood pumped out of your heart's lower chambers, or ventricles. It's the percentage of blood that leaves your ventricle when your heart contracts. The ...

Ejection fraction refers to how much blood the heart pumps out during a contraction. An abnormal ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Some people might need treatment to improve their ...

Ejection fraction is a measurement doctors can use to help diagnose heart failure. A normal range is between 52% and 72% for males and between 54% and 74% for females. An ejection fraction that ...

Learn some lifestyle, medication and procedural interventions on how to improve heart ejection fraction in order to keep your heart healthy. Written by : Ariba Khaliq Updated at: Jun 04, 2018 08: ...

A low ejection fraction lets a doctor know that the active pumping phase of the heart isn't working. It's usually tied to some, but not all, types of heart failure. Heart failure with a low EF is ...

While heart failure overall is decreasing in age-specific incidence, the trends diverge by ejection fraction. For example, in a study from the Minnesota county near the Mayo Clinic, age- and sex ...

To the Editor: Recent studies have shown a poor prognosis for patients with heart failure who have a normal ejection fraction,1 a finding that differs markedly from the results of randomized, contr ...

An international team of researchers at the University of Manchester, Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions has discovered a natural mechanism that protects the heart from ...

Part 3: Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction: Diagnosis and Evaluation. Part 4: Case Study: Lightheadedness, Fatigue in Man With Hypertension. Up next: Medical Management ...

A low ejection fraction, which is defined as 40% or below, indicates that the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s requirements. Low ejection fraction symptoms include fatigue ...
