A member asked:
I did an echo and every other thing was normal apart from my ejection fraction which was 80 percent and my tapse was 25mm, i was a bit anxious when taking the test though, do i need to worry about this values?

Good EF!: Most normal hearts have ejection fraction around 55-60% so yours is very good & probably not worrisome that it is higher than normal (anxiety might do that). tapse is not a term I know as an US physician but assume pulmonary artery pressure perhaps? I would discuss with ordering physician & ask if cardiology evaluation needed, but also depends on your symptoms- we treat patient not numbers
