@houseofmedicalski: 🧠 KNOW YOUR HEART’S PUMPING POWER: Ejection Fraction Explained 🩺 Ejection Fraction” (EF) is the percentage of blood your left ventricle pumps out with each heartbeat and it’s a key indicator of heart health. 📏 Here’s a simple breakdown: ❤️ Normal EF → 55–70% Healthy, strong squeeze. Your heart is pumping efficiently. 💛 Mildly Reduced EF → 40–45% Pumping power is starting to dip. Early attention is key. 🧡 Moderately Reduced EF → 30–35% Heart is weakened and working harder. Medical management is crucial. ⚠️ Severely Reduced EF → 15–20% Significantly weakened pumping. 🔍 Why does this matter? Knowing your EF can help detect heart failure early and guide treatment. It’s usually measured with an echocardiogram (“echo”). 🩺 If you have symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling talk to your doctor. Early intervention can make all the difference. ❤️ Your heart works hard for you every day,let’s give it the attention it deserves. #hearthealth #ejectionfraction #heartfailure #cardiology #HeartAwareness #KnowYourNumbers #HealthyHeart #medicalknowledge #PreventHeartDisease #heartcare
