LVEF (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction)

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) measures how effectively the heart's left ventricle pumps blood with each heartbeat. It is expressed as a percentage, indicating the proportion of blood ejected from the ventricle relative to its total filling volume. A healthy LVEF typically ranges from 55% to 70%. A lower LVEF may suggest weakened heart function, common in conditions like heart failure, while a high or normal LVEF indicates efficient pumping. LVEF helps doctors assess heart health, diagnose issues, and monitor treatment effectiveness.
