You can improve your ejection fraction score by making the following lifestyle changes:

Ejection fraction is a test your doctor can use to determine the percentage of blood that leaves a ventricle each time your heart beats, and to understand how well your heart works. A normal ejection fraction range is between 52 and 72 percent for men and between 54 and 74 percent for women.
ICD-10 code I50. 2 for Systolic (congestive) heart failure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
I50. 2 Systolic (congestive) heart failure adds two definitions: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I50. 33 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Topic Overview. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) happens when the left side of your heart doesn't pump blood out to the body as well as normal. It's sometimes called systolic heart failure.
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), also called systolic failure: The left ventricle loses its ability to contract normally. The heart can't pump with enough force to push enough blood into circulation.
INTRODUCTION Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a clinical syndrome in which patients have signs and symptoms of HF as the result of high left ventricular (LV) filling pressure despite normal or near normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF; ≥50 percent) [1-5].
When heart failure becomes severe enough to cause symptoms requiring immediate medical treatment, it is called decompensated heart failure (DHF). On the other hand, if you have heart failure but your heart is still functioning well enough that you don't have symptoms, you have compensated heart failure.
HFpEF is characterized by abnormal diastolic function: there is an increase in the stiffness of the left ventricle, which causes a decrease in left ventricular relaxation during diastole, with resultant increased pressure and/or impaired filling.

What does EF have to do with heart failure? A low ejection fraction lets a doctor know that the active pumping phase of the heart isn't working. It's usually tied to some, but not all, types of heart failure. Heart failure with a low EF is called "systolic" heart failure.
Low ejection fraction, sometimes called low EF, is when your ejection fraction falls below 55%. It means your heart isn't functioning as well as it should. Your doctor will want to thoroughly check you for a heart condition to find the cause. A low number can be serious.
