They are just different formulas for calculating the ejection fraction. In the medical field, you really just don't take the results of one test, you combine the results of several different tests ( since no test is correct 100% of the time). It would seem that you are doing OK. As long as you can do what you want and not be limited by shortness of breath or running out of gas too quickly, you're doing fine.
Good night and good luck to you.
Thanks for info, my echo test said EFcub. 72 EF teich 65. Are these ejection fraction numbers, what do they mean. My catherization results said ejection fraction 50%, is that a more exact test for ejection. Thanks again
50% is not considered normal, at least where I work. That would be called borderline low normal. I would say 55% to 70% is the normal range.
50-70% is a normal ejection fraction. Mine has varied from 49% to 65% and my cardiologist has never been disappointed with those numbers.
55% is typically considered a normal ejection fraction.
good night and good luck.
irontom,
thanks for the post.
I think you may have chest pain which is non-cardiac in origin. You really do not seem to have any major risk for microvascular disease and if you cath was normal, spasm would also be unlikely. I would try to go back to see if it would be poosible to look into other causes.
The SVT you experice I would like to know more about if I was your physician. Is it associated with symptoms, what is the rhtyhm (afib, etc).
You should discuss your concerns with your physician.
hope this is a start.
