Three years ago today :AVR with an Edwarads Inspiris. I am feeling great ! And getting in lots of exercise!
But I recently had a stress test that included measuring my LV ejection fraction, with results
I did not like. My ejection fraction under stress(80% exercise bike effort) was less than my ejection fraction at rest. This is correlated with a
partially blocked coronary not able to get enough oxygen to the heart muscle while under stress. My cardiologist blew it off a (no problem)
but I will pursue clarity and try to get a CT scan. Unfortunately, It was my first ejection fraction stress test , so I have nothing to compare it to.
