Ef 15%/heart failure: Ejection fraction or ef of 10 to 15 is serious. This is a measure of how your heart is performing as a pump. Ef should be 50 to 60%, so low ef means heart failure. There are treatments, medical ones first, like diuretics to remove extra fluid. Okay to ask your doc and your cardiologist.
