Ejection Fraction

Just four weeks ago, Bob Sutton received a troubling diagnosis — his heart’s ejection fraction (EF), a key measure of how well the heart pumps blood, had dropped to a dangerously low 27%. An EF this low typically signals heart failure, with symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of hospitalization. But after immediate medical attention, expert care, and lifestyle modifications, the most recent echocardiogram shows Bob's EF has surged to an astonishing 64% — well within the normal range.

This kind of recovery is rare but not impossible. Bob’s turnaround most likely reflects a case of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy — a temporary weakening of the heart muscle caused by a fast, irregular heartbeat. Once his rhythm was stabilized through medication, monitoring, and perhaps cardioversion, his heart had a chance to recover. This outcome is a testament to early intervention, excellent follow-up, and the power of informed patient advocacy. Bob’s experience serves as a reminder that with the right team and timely treatment, even a frightening diagnosis can become a story of hope and healing.
