Ejection Fraction via Muga Scan
by AnnieFly, Oct 24, 2009 04:58PM
I had a Muga Scan in Aug with result of 54%. Then again yesterday with 52%. I'm concerned about the drop. I'm currently on Herceptin for therapy for breast cancer. Is there anything I can do to increase the ejection fraction. I run 2 miles a day, five days a week. And I'm a long-time runner, about 25 years. I'm 51 years old, female. Thanks

There are medications like digoxin which are known to increase the EF but this is given only if the patient is suffering from CHF. I don’t think you need to be too much worried about the same as you’re an avid exerciser and an EF above 50% is decent enough to supply adequate blood to all the body tissues. Hence, my suggestion is not to worry and continue your jogging. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
