Cause of low ejection fraction
Patient assessment
One of the most important tests used to diagnose heart failure is to measure the percentage of blood that your heart pumps with each beat. This percentage is called the ejection fraction (EF for short) and indicates how well your heart is pumping. A normal EF is 50-75%.

1. Ejection fraction: This is stroke volume/ end diastolic volume, (normally around 70/120 mls or approximately 0.6) 2. Cardiac index: This is the cardiac output per square meter of body surface area. Causes of heart failure. The general term cardiomyopathy is often applied to the failing heart.

Growth Fraction. Growth fraction . is the ratio of the numbers of cells that are proliferating to the number of cells in a tumor. The average growth fraction is 20%. Small, rapid growing (higher growth fraction) cancers respond better to chemo. Normal cells with high growth fractions are more susceptible to chemo drugs (GI mucosa, bone marrow).
Patient assessment
A low EF is also a sign of increased risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest (“SCA” for short). Sudden Cardiac Arrest is caused by an electrical problem in the heart that triggers a dangerously fast heartbeat, which causes the heart muscle to quiver and not pump blood to the rest of the body and brain.

Certain other abnormalities in the form of early left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and low ejection fraction have also been evidenced, which could be attributed to the dyslipidemia and hypertension31. Hyperandrogenism is also known to cause hypertension in women with PCOS, though underlying pathogenetic mechanism is not fully understood35.

A below-normal ejection fraction means that your heart is no longer pumping as it should and may not be able to supply your body and brain with enough blood. Why is it important to know my ejection fraction? Your ejection fraction is one of the ways your doctor can diagnose heart failure and identify people who are at risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Systolic heart failure presents when the ejection fraction is less than 40%. ... Whatever the cause of heart failure, the response is a fall in cardiac output. ... The dose is started low and gradually titrated upwards toward the target in table 2. Medications should be titrated up every 2-4 weeks.

Normally, the ventricles eject about 65% (the ejection fraction) of the end-diastolic volume (preload). Systolic heart failure is characterized by a 40% or lower ejection fraction (SV/EDV), is mainly considered in terms of the left ventricle; this results in an . insufficient cardiac output to meet heart and body tissue perfusion requirements

Ejection fraction = 61%. Mean arterial pressure = 100 mmHg. Pulse pressure = 54 mmHg. What dysrhythmia is shown in the EKG above? None, it’s a normal sinus rhythm. First degree heart block. Second degree type 1 heart block. Second degree type 2 heart block. Third degree 1 heart block. A patient is diagnosed with pulmonary edema.
