If EF: = Ejection Fraction...94% is ABOVE NORMAL!...Hyperdynamic is also a NORMAL variant meaning the MOTION of the heart is VISUALLY "energetic! Hope this is helpful! BE WELL! Dr Z

It is likely that: the EF has been reported inaccurately and is a typo or calculated incorrectly by the technician and not corrected by the overriding health care professional. It is highly unlikely that your real EF is 94% as this would imply nearly complete emptying of the ventricle which would be extremely unlikely. Ask your health care provider to have this reevaluated and corrected.
