What Is Meant By The Ejection Fraction Of The Heart?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have seen so many questions lately about ejection fraction that I thought this video and the graphic I posted below might help us all understand ejection fraction better.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta from York Cardilolgy explains how ejection fraction is arrived at and the graphic in the first comment below is from Penn Medicine lists the percentages and what they mean. I hope everyone enjoys Dr. Gupta's explanation.
