Phrases with «ejection fraction»

Ejection fraction refers to the measurement of how well your heart pumps out blood during each heartbeat. It tells you the percentage of blood that is pumped out from the heart's main chamber (ventricle) with each contraction. For example, if your ejection fraction is 55%, it means that 55% of the blood in the ventricle is pumped out with each heartbeat. This measurement helps evaluate heart health and how effectively it can circulate blood throughout the body. Full definition
