You can improve your ejection fraction score by making the following lifestyle changes:
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I50. 33 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The left ventricle is the heart's main pumping chamber. It pumps oxygen-rich blood up into your body's main artery (aorta) to the rest of the body. A normal ejection fraction is about 50% to 75%, according to the American Heart Association. A borderline ejection fraction can range between 41% and 50%.
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).
Ejection fraction is a measurement doctors use to calculate the percentage of blood that leaves your heart each time it contracts. As your heart beats, it pumps (ejects) blood into your body from the two lower muscular chambers, known as the left and right ventricles.

Heart failure patients with primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) may experience an improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) over time.
LVSD and heart failure are not synonymous. Some patients will suffer major left ventricular damage and yet be asymptomatic. Between 30–50% of patients who develop heart failure will do so in the absence of any LVSD, mitral regurgitation, or arrhythmias.
A low ejection fraction (or low EF) is typically 45 or less and can be evidence of heart failure or cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle). The heart's ejection fraction (EF) refers to the amount – or percentage – of blood pumped (or ejected) out of the heart's left ventricle with each contraction.
For example, an ejection fraction of 60% means your heart is pumping 60% of your blood out of your left ventricle (its main pumping chamber) every time your heart beats. Generally, a normal range for ejection fraction is between 55% and 70%.
Left ventricular hypertrophy, or LVH, is a term for a heart's left pumping chamber that has thickened and may not be pumping efficiently. Sometimes problems such as aortic stenosis or high blood pressure overwork the heart muscle.
LVEF equals net counts in the end-diastolic frame minus net counts in end-systolic frame divided by net counts in end-diastole. Net counts are calculated by subtracting counts from a background ROI (placed next to the left ventricle) from measured LV counts.
An ejection fraction of 50 percent to 65 percent is considered normal.
