Ejection Fraction: What It Is, Types and Normal Range - Cleveland Clinic
WEBJul 7, 2022 · Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) This measures the amount of oxygen-poor blood pumped out of the right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygen. It is important if you have right-sided heart failure.

Ejection Fraction: What Do the Numbers Mean? | Penn Medicine
WEBApr 13, 2022 · There are two types of ejection fraction: left ventricular and right ventricular. Left ventricular measures how much blood gets pumped from the left ventricle with each contraction. Typically, ejection fraction refers to left ventricular.
Ejection Fraction: Normal Range, Low Range, and Treatment - Healthline
WEBJun 25, 2023 · Ejection fraction is a test your doctor can use to determine the percentage of blood that leaves a ventricle each time your heart beats, and to understand how well your heart works.
Ejection Fraction Heart Failure Measurement
WEBJun 14, 2023 · Ejection fraction (EF) is a measurement, expressed as a percentage, of how much blood the left ventricle pumps out with each contraction. An ejection fraction of 60 percent means that 60 percent of the total amount of blood in the left ventricle is pushed out with each heartbeat.
Ejection fraction: An important heart test - Mayo Clinic
WEBFeb 17, 2023 · A left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction of about 50% to 70% is categorized as normal. A mildly reduced LV ejection fraction is usually between 41% and 49%. A reduced LV ejection fraction is usually 40% or less.

WEBJan 21, 2020 · The RV is 10-15% larger in volume than the LV, with thinner free wall and smaller mass. 3 With aging, there is a reduction in RV mass and volume and an increase in ejection fraction (EF).
Ejection fraction - Wikipedia
WEBThe EF of the right heart, or right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), is a measure of the efficiency of pumping into the pulmonary circulation. A heart which cannot pump sufficient blood to meet the body's requirements (i.e., heart failure) will often, but not invariably, have a reduced ventricular ejection fraction. [6]
