I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent 2D echo results. It says my EF is 56, but everything else seems normal. Is this EF number something to be concerned about or is it within the normal range? Just wanted to make sure I understand what this means for my heart health.

Your EF (Ejection Fraction) of 56% is considered normal. An EF between 50-70% is generally considered normal for a healthy adult. No treatment is usually required for a normal EF.
