A member asked:
Theoretically, if the left ventrical was hypotrophied it would raise ejection fraction? would a dialated lv lower ef ? not an issue, just curios.

Which is a concern?: Left Ventricular Hypertrophy would not RAISE an ejection fraction...but a dilated, thin Left ventricle could LOWER an EF. TWO different issues. WHIch is a concern for you?
