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.

What it means: 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. ... You can have a normal ejection fraction reading and still have heart failure. If the heart muscle has become so thick and stiff that the ventricle holds a...

Results Thirty-one percent of the patients had an ejection fraction of more than 50 percent. ... Phan, T. T., Shivu, G. N., Abozguia, K., Gnanadevan, M., Ahmed, I., Frenneaux, M. (2009). Left ventricular torsion and strain patterns in heart failure with normal ejection fraction are similar to age-related changes.

His heart rate was in the 50s. ... 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. ... In severe cases, EF can drop below 5 percent.

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. ... The same thing happens in "stiff" hearts, often caused by long-term high blood pressure. There are several other illnesses like HCM that may cause heart failure with a normal EF.

A measure of myocardial contractility reflecting the effectiveness of ventricular ejection. It is calculated by dividing the stroke volume by the end diastolic volume, and it is reported as a percentage. A normal ejection fraction is greater than 55 percent.
