Normal Ejection Fraction By Age Chart

A normal ejection fraction (EF) generally ranges from 52-72% for male adults and 54-74% for female adults regardless of age, though slight increases are observed in older age groups.

Heart failure is typically indicated when the ejection fraction falls below 40%, with severe heart failure occurring at an EF below 30%.

Our handout and patient chart can be used during cardiac evaluations, preventive health check-ups, and assessments of individuals presenting with symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue. They are also employed in long-term management for tracking changes in ejection fraction over time.
