A member asked:
I have an ef of 48%, and a stroke volume of 46.9 ml, and my cardiologist isn't concerned. i'm 25 years old. i'm super worried, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Re-test: For an otherwise healthy young person an EF of 48% is not Normal. Not sure by what imaging modality that was quantified, but it ought to be re-done, preferably without radiation exposure. See another cardiologist, get a second opinion, perhaps at an academic center.
