A left ventricular ejection fraction of 60% falls within the normal range, and in the absence of symptoms, it is usually only necessary to observe, and if there is chest tightness, shortness of breath and other discomforts, then further examination is required.
1. Ejection fraction mainly refers to the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one beat as a percentage of the end-diastolic volume of the heart.
2. When the heart contracts, blood is pumped out of the left ventricle; during diastole, the ventricle refills with blood. However, blood cannot be completely pumped out of the ventricles during systole no matter what, so the percentage pumped is one of the indicators used to calculate the heart’s pumping function.
Its normal value is generally between 50 and 70%, so 60% is within the normal range, if there are no uncomfortable symptoms then only need to be observed, if there is chest tightness, chest pain and other uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further diagnosis, whether there is coronary heart disease, heart failure and other diseases.
