A Low EF Number Does Not Mean You're Going To Die ... There is also an ejection fraction for the right ventricle. This measures how well it is pumping blood back to your lungs to pick up oxygen. It is called RVEF and is normally lower than LVEF. Most CHFers will deal mainly with LVEF, or Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction.

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to assess whether post-stress and rest functional parameters, as measured by gated-SPECT, provide additional predictive value for long-term prognosis, over clinical and perfusion data in patients (pts.) with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

However, the echo showed a low ejection fraction, confirmed by the MRI. The fraction in 41%, but the report showed normal size of the heart and chambers, and no thickening of the walls. My cardiologist says this may have been caused by a virus, and put me on an ultra low dose of Coreg (3.125mg 2x/day).

Ejection Fraction (EF) is the fraction of blood ejected by the ventricle relative to its end-diastolic volume. Therefore, EF is calculated from: ... For this reason, low ejection fractions are generally associated with systolic dysfunction rather than diastolic dysfunction.

Background— Patients with low ejection fraction (EF) are at a higher risk for postoperative complications and mortality. Our objective was to assess the effect of low EF on clinical outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
