i have injection fraction of 25%

will be able to go back to work as state tested nursing aid?

and what does the injectin fraction need to be ?

[kenkeith]

The ejection fraction (EF) is the percent of blood pumped into circulation with each heartbeat. Normal is 50 to 70%., below 29% is considered heart failure range meaning the heart may not be pumping enough blood to meet the blood/oxygen demand.  Under that condition there would/should be shortage of breath with any exertion and sometimes there is chest pain (angina).

There are people that function well with an EF below 29% as the symptoms are controlled by a system that has successfully compensated.  Depending on the underlying cause you may be able to increase your EF.

Will the use of the drug Eplerenone 25 cause at least a marginal increase in EF over the years.?
