EF: No. They are both within normal limits. With different tests and interpretations there can be variablity.

EF: Techniques for measurement of ejection fraction often yield different values. Ef by echo is a calculation with geometric assumptions as is the ef from cta, both values you got are normal, you don't need more testing especially if you are doing well. Why did you have a cta at 36y/o?
