A member asked:
Could a healthy heart will pump out all the blood that entered its chambers during diastole?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ejection fraction: The normal ejection fraction from the heart is about 60% this means that a normal heart would leave 40% of its end diastolic volume still in the heart. Abnormal hearts have ef lower than 50%.
