Do you think maybe she said ejection fraction?

The ejection fraction is the percentage of blood that is pumped out with each heartbeat. This measures the capacity and functioning ability of your heart. Ejection fraction is usually measured in the left ventricle because it is the main pumping chamber of the heart. A normal ejection fraction in a person at rest is typically between 55 and 70 percent.
