A doctor has provided 1 answer
EF: The ejection fraction (EF) is only on of several contributing predictors of long term survival with Cardiomyopathy. Many factors modify this risk. Depression, comorbid diseases, marital status, medical and dietary compliance, age, education and even where you live have an impact. Ask your health care provider for a comprehensive prediction for you.
