Ejection fraction (EF) refers to the amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each beat. EF is an important measure of how well your heart muscle is functioning. People with a low EF (35% or below) are at risk for developing abnormal heart rhythms and sudden cardiac arrest. An echocardiogram is a commonly used test to determine EF.
