Medical Conditions - Ejection Fraction

The measurement of how efficiently your heart is pumping blood out with every contraction is called ejection fraction or EF. The ejection fraction is generally tested for the left ventricle (the lower left chamber of the heart). The normal EF is 55 %, and if it falls below 55 %, it indicates a high risk of heart failure as the heart is not functioning properly.
