Cardiac Blood Pool Scan
Results
A cardiac blood pool scan shows how well your heart is pumping blood to the rest of your body.
The most commonly reported value is the ejection fraction, which is the average amount of blood pumped out of the heart's left ventricle during each contraction.
Normal results include:Reference 1
- Ejection fraction is 55% to 65%.
- Walls of the ventricles are contracting normally.
Many conditions can affect cardiac blood pool scan results. Your doctor will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to your symptoms and past health.
