Definition
The ventricular ejection fraction is the fraction of blood pumped out of a ventricle with each heart beat. Impaired ventricular ejection fraction can be indicative of damage to the heart muscle, such as that sustained during myocardial infarction. The ventricular ejection fraction cluster collects information on the timing, measurement type and results of a ventricular ejection fraction measurement during the current hospital presentation.
