I picked up my TEE echo done right before my ablation on september of

2005. It says:

LVEF 45-50. It also says decreased from previous echo. slightly

enlarged LV without any trombus. enlarged atrium & oversewn atrial

apandage, slight enlarged RV & Right atrium with minor regurgation of

miteral valve, tricuspid valve.

Am i consider as a heart failure patient? or this is the begining of

failing. Doctors normaly don't want to answer these questions, mine

says: " Don't worry, you will have a long life " . What is the normal EF

for a 44 years old?
