This is concerning: Of the findings you reported, I am most concerned at this time about your ef of 32%. This needs to be further evaluated as to the cause. Low ejection fractions tend to cause symptoms of heart failure as well as markedly increase your risk of sudden death. Aortic sclerosis, mild mitral regurgitation and dilated left atrium are findings that need to be monitored; they may progress in the future.
