If you have a heart failure diagnosis, your doctor will likely test to find out your ejection fraction. This number can’t always tell the whole story, but it does help you and your doctor track the progression or improvement of your heart function. Luckily, lifestyle changes and heart failure medicines can help improve your ejection fraction and even reduce symptoms.
