Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the central measure of left ventricular systolic function. LVEF is the fraction of chamber volume ejected in systole (stroke volume) in relation to the volume of the blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole (end-diastolic volume).
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the measurement of how much blood is being pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart (the main pumping chamber) with each contraction.
Left ventricular failure, unspecified I50. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I50. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
LVEF is defined as the ratio between the stroke volume (i.e. the difference between the left ventricular volumes at end-diastole Vdiastoie and end-systole Vsystole) and the end-diastolic volume as illustrated by the equation below: L V E F = V diastole − V systole V diastole = S t r o k e V o l u m e V diastole.
An LVEF below 40 percent is heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It can also be due to cardiomyopathy, which is when your heart muscle weakens, making your heart less effective at pumping blood to the rest of your body.

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction happens when the muscle of the left ventricle is not pumping as well as normal. The ejection fraction is 40% or less. The amount of blood being pumped out of the heart is less than the body needs.
Background. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is defined as the inability of the ventricle to fill to a normal end-diastolic volume, both during exercise as well as at rest, while left atrial pressure does not exceed 12 mm Hg.
ICD-10-CM Code for Cardiomegaly I51. 7.
The normal percentage of blood ejected from the heart is in the range of 50-70% depending on different factors. If the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 45% (& that is not a measurement error), then it is mildly reduced.
In general LVEF ≥ 55% is considered “normal” by guidelines, with a low normal designation for LVEF 50-55%.
55 to 70% – Normal heart function. 40 to 55% – Below normal heart function. Can indicate previous heart damage from heart attack or cardiomyopathy. Higher than 75% – Can indicate a heart condition like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest.
