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 >
from www.acor.org : Ejection fraction. The left ventricle is a chamber which relaxes to fill with blood and then contracts to pump the blood out. Even in a healthy heart, the left ventricle does not pump all of the blood out with each beat.The ejection fraction is defined by the following formula:f the left ventricle wall is thinned, a decrease in the ejection fraction is seen. We can use computer programs in the cath lab to calculate the EF, if we do a left ventriculogram, and then trace the end systolic and end diastolic outlines.
