What does it mean if your heart function is only 15%?
A heart function of 15% indicates a severe reduction in ejection fraction, meaning only 15% of blood is pumped with each heartbeat. Dr. Swarup Swaraj Pal explained that while this is serious, it does not equate to an immediate emergency; some patients can live for years with proper treatment. Close medical monitoring is essential for managing risks and improving heart function.
