Question 1

what is a normal ejection fraction in a 37 year old woman?

Accepted Answer

Ejection fraction: In 37  yf the ejection fraction should be normal between 55-70%. Provided you do not have any heart problem. To be precise exact, doctor has to know wt , cardiac out put, heart rate, stroke volume& lvedv. Women have slightly high stroke volume. Not very much gender difference for ef%. Age certainly plays role. Elderly people have lessef%. Ef also depends on modality of test. Good luck.

Question 2

what is the normal ejection fraction? i have 83%. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In general, a normal ejection fraction is regarded as being greater than 55-60%.

Question 3

what is a normal ejection fraction for 40 years old ladies ? what can be done to improve it?

Accepted Answer

Ejection fraction: Generally, normal EF would be 50-75%, Normal EF doesn’t vary between men and women or based on age.  If your EF is in the normal range, you can’t do anything and actually don’t want to “improve” it.  If it is abnormal then improving it depends on the reason it is low which can be one of many.  Hope that helps!

Question 4

what is a normal ejection fraction for gallbladder?

Accepted Answer

HIDA scan EF>35%: Most radiologists state a normal gallbladder ejection fraction (ef) on a hida scan as 35% or above. A low ejection fraction can be due to gallbladder dyskinesia, chronic cholecystitis (infection), and rarely cancer. A good answer for 'hida scan results' =http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/hida-scan/my00320/dsection & from the an original journal article =radiology.Rsna.Org/content/226/2/593.1.Full.

Question 5

why wouldmy echo say in narrative "normal ejection fraction"  yet the ef (teich) is 39% - i know, get it re-read right?  i despise the dr who read it

Accepted Answer

Normal EF?: I’d either get it read again or performed all over again by another doctor’s office.  39% EF is not normal, so this needs to be clarified.

Question 6

been athelte for the most of my life. lvd size is 63mm. should i get worried?
average hr is 40. bp - normal. ejection fraction - 60. almost for the whole of my 30 years doing activities, it was aerobic cardio trainings. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Consult Cardiologist:  Per NCBI, "Intense exercise may cause heart remodeling to compensate for increases in blood pressure or volume by increasing muscle mass. Cardiac changes can involve not only the left ventricle, but all heart chambers." Your best option is to consult a cardiologist. They can explain in detail the results of the echocardiogram and if there are any concerning changes.

Question 7

hi doctors, was just wondering what is a normal ejection fraction %age on a hida scan? what's good, what's bad?

Accepted Answer

Greater than 35%: Normal ejection fraction in adults usually is greater than 35%. Significance of ejection fractions has to be compared to clinical signs and symptoms of patient.

Question 8

echocardiogram 2.5 years ago normal ejection fraction 60-65%. now normal but ejection fraction 55% is this a bad sign or just variable? just ectopics

Accepted Answer

"Normal" hard to jud: Basis for designating an ejection frac (EF) as "normal" isn't just the pictures that are seen, but also knowledge of your medical condition- symptoms &amp; signs. Any echocardiogram has variability - a calculated EF of 55% means the EF can range from 50%-60% (+/-5%). Similarly, 2.5 yrs ago, EF was probably in the range of 57%-67%. There's considerable overlap, so it's hard to say if anything changed.

Question 9

doc says i have "referred pain" in liver/gb area of back.ultrasound=normal. ejection fraction=91%.feel poisoned always-worse after food. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Time to stop guessin: Call your doctor and have a gastroenterological evaluation....   A gastroenterologist is the expert on the GI tract.

Question 10

would heart failure with normal ejection fraction show up in an electrocardiogram or an echocardiogram or a stress echocardiogram?

Accepted Answer

Echo: Heart failure with normal ejection fraction would most commonly be due to some structural or functional abnormality in the heart, it’s valves, or surrounding structures. To start an echo would give the best chance at visualization along with a good physical exam. 3D echo would be even more helpful in some cases if available, and stress echo may be needed to expose certain abnormalities.
