One of the ways to grade heart failure is through ejection fraction. The ejection fraction determines the amount or percentage of blood leaving during every ventricular contract and it helps in diagnosing heart failure (Mankad 2016) .The left ventricle is measured to determine the ejection fraction because it is considered as the main heart pumping chamber .The normal LV ejection range for a normal heart is from 55 percent and above while 50 percent and below signifies low heart function and a potential heart failure.
The ejection fraction is way of diagnosing left ventricular systolic malfunction (Nicholson op. cit. 12). This is obtained by dividing the heart stroke volume (70ml) by the left ventricular end-diastolic volume (120 ml) which
