EF is a measure of the emptying phase, so your ejection fraction may be normal if your CHF is caused by problems with the heart's filling phase. This situation is common in older people with a history of high blood pressure or ischemia - chronic reduced blood flow to the heart.

Because the left ventricle is the heart's main pumping chamber, ejection fraction is usually measured only in the left ventricle (LV). A normal LV ejection fraction is 55 to 70 percent. The ejection fraction may decrease if your heart has been damaged by a heart attack or other problems with the heart valves or muscle.

The progression from concentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy to heart failure has not been well defined. ... Of 159 predominantly hypertensive African-American patients with LV hypertrophy and a normal ejection fraction (EF), 28 (18%) developed a reduced EF after a median follow-up of approximately 4 years.

An EF of 55 to 75 percent is considered normal. A higher than normal ejection fraction could indicate the presence of certain heart conditions, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A low ejection fraction could be a sign that the heart is weakened.

Ejection fraction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cardiovascular physiology, ejection fraction ( E f ) is the fraction of blood pumped out of a ventricle with each heart beat. The term ejection fraction applies to both the right and left ...

Normal ejection fraction is between 55-75. A measurement under 40 may be evidence of heart failure or cardiomyopathy. An EF between 40 and 55 indicates damage, perhaps from a previous heart attack, but it may not indicate heart failure.
