A Linda Martinez , Cardiac Rehabilitation, answered on behalf of Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) Normal ejection fraction of the heart is in the range of 60% to 80%. It can also be classified as normal, mildly reduced, moderately reduced and severely reduced without giving a percentage. The ejection fraction is used as a measure of the severity of heart failure and helps guide treatment. Please note: Symptoms do not always match the severity of the ejection fraction.
Understanding Ejection Fraction Ejection Fraction (EF) is a measurement used by physicians to determine how well your heart is functioning. An EF is a percentage of blood that is pumped out of the heart during each beat. Ejection refers to the amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, during each heartbeat. Fraction refers to the fact that, even in a healthy heart, some blood always remains within this chamber after each heartbeat. An EF is a percentage of blood that is pumped out of the heart during each beat. Ejection fraction is a key indicator of heart health. Physicians assess the extent of heart muscle damage by measuring the left ventricular ejection fraction. Common tests to determine EF include an echocardiogram and nuclear stress test. Cardiac MRI is a new method that is being used more frequently to measure EF as well.
