Ejection fraction is one of the most important parameters in echocardiography and can be used in any patient to gain a lot of knowledge... right? But what about small ventricles, or large ones? What about regional wall motion abnormalities, and how reproducible is ejection fraction to begin with? Watch this video to find the answers to these questions, and more - but be warned, you will not look at ejection fraction with the same eyes ever again.

This presentation is excellent. This is very helpful for a long term athlete with a below average EF and an above average SV with a low bpm and a high VOmax. When will the medical industry understand not everyone doesn’t fit into the typical cohort?

Question I've asked in other places and never got answered:- Why is the EF so reported on and seemingly significant, when it doesn't actually signify the amount of blood being delivered to the body with each beat-the stroke volume. I mean, your EF could be 65% but if it's only a teaspoon of blood-it will not be enough!?
