A member asked:
Will a high ejection fraction (72%) wear my heart muscle out prematurely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: A high EF is not in itself harmful. Certainly depends upon the underlying reason and your physiology at the time of the exam. Hard to explain here, but if there is no other anatomic abnormality this may have been a normal finding. You should discuss this with the provider who ordered your test.
