EF is Ejection Fraction which concerns how efficiently the heart is circulating blood to the rest of the body. When the aortic valve is not opening and closing properly, it can’t pump the blood with enough force. Blood leaks in when not closed enough, and blood doesn’t make it out as well when it doesn’t open enough.
It’s funny, because I hate hospitals, but the lady in the next room in ICU who also had a TAVR the same day, beat me outta there the next day, practically running, until they forced her into the wheelchair for discharge.

Thanks. You guys have had much more done than I.

I’m on my second pacemaker. My sinus node was merely slowing down.

It must be getting close to receive a third, as I’ve had this one for 9+ years.

I got it 3 days before we got 4 baby goats at the farm.
