Heart Failure &Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

What is heart Heart Failure means? Heart stop functioning 

For ever no. It is reduction of function 

In Heart failure heart  cannot pump enough blood and oxygen support 

To organs in your body .

To make it simple suppose in certain examination

Passing marks required is 50% and maximum marks are 

,70%

Ok so failure Heart is less than 50%

Similiar is Heart Failure story.

What is examined is  LVEF means Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction 

Heart is having 4 Chambers upper two called atria and lower,

Are ventricles

left ventricles pumps Blood and oxygen to different organs of the body

When blood supply and oxygen is reduced the LVEF is lower than 50%

LVEF is test reorted in 2D imaging test of heart.

Heart failure is catagarised into groups

                 Heart Failure catagarise

                    Based on LVEF

1 HF with preserved Ejection Fraction LVEF ≥50%

2 HF with improved EF LVEF ≥40%

     Past LVEF ≤40

3HF with mildly reduced EF 41%-49%

4.    HF with reduced EF≤40%

         HF Heart Failure

         LVEF Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction 

         EF Ejection Fraction 

       Patient his or her relative should know when doctor ask to get 2 D imaging Heart there also LVEF report

So what. I s the report of LVEF he should discussed with cardiologist.
