Low normal: It is low normal your tachycardia may be causing the slight drop, a repeat echo may be advised in the future to make sure there is no further decline especially if you develop symptoms. Talk to your dr. To see what is causing your tachycardia, pvc, get a holter, u may need further intervention.

No: 50% ef is low normal, however tachycardia if not treated could lower ef in the future. Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy could occur. Review this with a cardiologist.
