A member asked:
Just been told i have an ejection fraction rating of 10 %. never had a heart problem before. no family history am a 59 year old male and have smoked ?

Likely incorrect rea: Incorrect reading is the most likely reason for an ejection fraction of 10% If it was real, you will not be able to get up to take a short walk. Your heart has to pump at least 20% or more of the blood in order for your to be able to function half way decent. My advice to you is to seek a repeat test or get a second opinion. Do you have any history of High BP or diabetes?
