What is a normal ejection fraction? A: Ejection fraction normally refers to measurements related to the left ventricle of the heart, and patients with an ejection fraction between 55 and 70 perc... Full Answer >
A healthy heart contracts (empties blood) and relaxes (refills blood) 60-80 times each minute. With each heartbeat, the heart pumps blood from the left and right ventricle. In most cases, ejection fraction refers to the percentage of blood that's pumped out of the left ventricle with each heartbeat. For example, an ejection fraction of 50% means that 50% of the blood from the left ventricle is being pumped out during each beat. There are two types of ejection fraction: left ventricular and right ventricular. Left ventricular measures how much blood gets pumped from the left ventricle with each contraction.
