Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction (RVEF)

Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction (RVEF) is a measurement that indicates how well the right ventricle of the heart pumps blood. It is the percentage of blood that is ejected from the right ventricle into the lungs with each heartbeat. A healthy RVEF usually ranges from 40% to 60%. Lower values may suggest issues like heart disease or lung problems, while higher values might indicate other conditions. Monitoring RVEF helps doctors assess heart function and overall cardiovascular health, particularly in patients with heart failure or pulmonary conditions.
