as an echocardiographic technician for 30 years, I've calculated EFs in the single digits rarely....8% or 9%. These were very sick patients, who were probably on death's doorstep.
Ejection fraction is a measure of how much blood your heart is effectively pumping. It's actually the measure of the blood contained in your ventricles when they're full (end diastolic volume nor EDV) and the amount remaining in the ventricles after pumping is entirely completed (end systolic volume). So the jection fraction is the amount of blood pumped divided by the EDV and expressed as a fraction Larger numbers are usually better. 50-60% is healthy.
I don't know really
There cannot be a whole fraction. If it is a fraction it is not whole and if it is whole it is not a fraction.
