A member asked:
Why wouldmy echo say in narrative "normal ejection fraction" yet the ef (teich) is 39% - i know, get it re-read right? i despise the dr who read it

Normal EF?: I’d either get it read again or performed all over again by another doctor’s office. 39% EF is not normal, so this needs to be clarified.

My ejection fraction in echos are: 2017 - 58%, 2016 - 60%, 2014 - 70%. Is it normal for EF to drop 12% in 3 yrs? Is 58% normal in 34yo female?

Is an ejection fraction of 50-55% on 2D echo dangerous in a young person? The official report would state it is the lower limit of normal.
EJection fraction went from 74 to 63. Everything else on echo normal except trace to mild TR,MR, and pulmonic regurgitation. Is this drop in EF bad?
