🫀 Low Ejection Fraction (Low EF): Symptoms, Risks & Natural Treatment at Madhavbaug Ambernath East

Heart health problems can silently affect daily life until symptoms start limiting even simple activities. One such serious condition is Low Ejection Fraction (Low EF)—a sign that the heart’s pumping power has weakened.

At Madhavbaug Ambernath East, we treat low EF patients using a structured, evidence-based Ayurvedic approach focused on improving heart function naturally and improving quality of life.

🔍 What Is Ejection Fraction?

Ejection Fraction (EF) refers to the percentage of blood pumped out of the heart with each heartbeat.

• Normal EF: 50% – 70%
• Low EF: Less than 40%

When EF falls below 40%, it is diagnosed as
Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction  (HFrEF)..

This means the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s oxygen and energy needs.

⚠️ Common Symptoms Seen in Low EF Patients

Patients with low EF often experience symptoms that gradually worsen if untreated.

Most Common Complaints:

• Constant fatigue and weakness
• Breathlessness while walking or climbing stairs
• Difficulty breathing while lying flat
• Swelling in feet, ankles, or legs
• Sudden weight gain due to fluid retention
• Irregular or fast heartbeat
• Reduced stamina and exercise capacity
• Frequent hospital admissions

These symptoms are not just discomforting—they signal that the heart needs urgent attention.

❗ Why Is Low Ejection Fraction a Serious Condition?

Low EF is not merely a diagnostic number. It reflects weak heart muscle performance, which can lead to serious complications.

Health Risks of Low EF:

• Increased risk of sudden cardiac death
• Poor oxygen supply to vital organs
• Fluid overload leading to swelling and breathlessness
• Reduced ability to work and perform daily tasks
• Progressive worsening of heart failure

Without proper treatment and monitoring, quality of life can decline significantly.

💭 Emotional & Mental Challenges Faced by Low EF Patients

Low EF affects more than the heart—it deeply impacts mental well-being.

Common Emotional Concerns:

• Fear of death or sudden health deterioration
• Anxiety about long-term dependency
• Feelings of helplessness and frustration
• Depression due to lifestyle limitations
• Misunderstanding about prognosis
• Worry about being a burden on family
• Loss of trust due to repeated hospitalisations

At Madhavbaug Ambernath East, emotional support and patient education are treated as essential parts of recovery.
