Heart Failure: In the big picture, 10% and 12% are the same and indicate the same level of seriousness. Your friend's future is in the realm of needing a heart transplant. or having this ejection fraction because of severe heart artery blockages which if opened with what is known as stinting bringing oxygen back to the heart may return activity to viable parts of the heart and improve survival.
