I Have Ejection Fraction ... What Category Of Heart Failure Does This Fall Into With Above Categories? I Have Shortness Of Breath
Ejection Fraction 25 Heart Failure
My EF is 32, better than before. No shortness of breath and no chest pain. Trying to exercise a little more each week. This was me two weeks ago training new Firefighters in a live fire exercise. Haven't done real Fire training in a year. 14 new firefighters trained to handle live fire conditions. They did great!

55 to 70% β Normal heart function.
40 to 55% β Below normal heart function. Can indicate previous heart damage from heart attack or cardiomyopathy.
Higher than 75% β Can indicate a heart condition like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest.
Less than 40% β May confirm the diagnosis of heart failure.
What is normal ejection fraction or isnβt there even a normal , Iβve had a quadruple bypass and 3 stents in the last 2 yrs and my number was 47 Iβm 66 yrs old
