EF25%: EF of 25% is adequate. It is heart failure, needs medication and monitoring. People live with 10% EF and even go to work What is the underlying condition? Heart , Lung? COPD? Still EF 25% is fine for heart failure. Consider getting a second opinion at the University of Arkansas Medical center cardiology department. 501-686-5311
