Concerned about my outlook. ef of 15 in march, now 50. no heart attack, cath clear. is this improvement positive and a good sign for recovery?

Great sign!: It's not uncommon for an ef (ejection fraction or how much the heart pumps) to improve. Your's is now pretty much normal but given your history of it being low, it should always be followed closely by a heart doctor.
