A member asked:
Would low cardiac output show up on an echo? i seem to have the symptoms but echo was fine. cannot find ejection fraction listed, though.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cardiac output: If the echo was "fine" then one assumes a normal ejection fraction; there is no generally accepted echo technique to estimate low cardiac output ;with a structurally normal heart it is highly unlikely in absence of other comorbidity to sustain a low CO stete
