Low EF

I was informed that my EF is 29%, yet I have no symptoms at all, how is this possible.  I went through boot camp for the U.S.N. and recently certified for open water and advanced scuba diving.

True, there are people waaliing around with EF% in the 15 % range and don't even know it.

Some patients feel good and remain active in spite of having a low EF.

A study published in the journal Panminerva Medica demonstrates PycnoQ10®, a pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark extract) and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) combination, naturally improves heart function. Results showed heart ejection fraction increased by 22.4% in the treatment group whereas only 4% in controls.
