Left ventricular ejection fraction 50%

[Mac321]

I have had breathless, dizziness , nausea, fatigue, chest pain for a couple of years. I have recently had an ecg results were sinus tachycardia. I have also have a holter monitor average heart rate 100bpm, I have an app on my phone and when I sit/lie down hr in the 70’s/80’s but as soon as I stand up goes up to over 120 . I have just had an echo results say left ventricular ejection fraction 50%

Hi Mac

Your ejection fraction at 50% is quite good 55% is the norm to = 100% What have they told you about your Tackycardia have they put you on Beta Blockers or were you on them before ??

Hi Prada 47 thanks for your reply , I’m currently taking Ramipril for high bp . I have literally had these results back 2 days ago and because of the Coronavirus I am wait until Monday to discuss the results with my doctor over the phone ( which I completely understand). I will just have to wait . Thanks again for your words of reassurance

Hi i had a MIBI test in November. My left ejection refraction is 49% and right 48%. I also have calcification in 2 arteries but I seen the cardiologist 3 weeks ago and he says everything is fine. I am very similiar to the unexpected 😂. I can go back to normal duties at work once this virus is over !! I go the gym lift weights swim etc. Skys the limit. I never went out the house for nearly 2 years with fear after my MI. (1 stent) I was 39 and went the rehab and they though I was there to Make the tea 😂. The more we worry about things the worse it gets. You will be fine.
