The baseline for the populationâs percentage of left-handed people is around 10 percent, but in some societies that number is far greater. Among Venezuelaâs Yanomami tribe, about 5 in every 1,000 people are murdered yearlyâand about 23 percent of the population is left-handed. For the Eipo in Indonesia, the murder rate is 3 in 1,000, and theyâre about 27 percent left-handed. And then there are the people of Jimi Valley in Papua New Guinea, who have a murder rate of 5.4 in 1,000 and an above-average instance of left-handed people at 13 percent.
The amount your left ventricle does pump out per beat is called the ejection fraction. It's X% (the amount pumped out) of the total amount of blood in the ventricle per heart beat. If your heart pumps out 55% or more of the blood in your left ventricle on each beat, you have good heart function. When it falls below 55% on each beat, you're slipping. That means your heart muscle is too weak to force as much blood out on each contraction as it should. Now, if your EF sounds bad, don't despair.
