Hi my lung function came back sayimg my co transfer factore is reduced to 74%. can you pls tell me what at means ? i have right heart failure also.

Ok: If less than fifty then I would be more concerned. However with heart failure it is not uncommon to have low dlco. The more concerning is why right heart failure at age 44. Meaning of low dlco is low ability of oxygen to be absorbed from lungs to blood.
