Normal heart pumping function is 50% or above. Less than 30% is considered poor / low heart function.
Normal heart function on heart pumping is measured in percentage of contractility. Normal heart pumping function is 50% or above. Heart pumping / functioning reduces by various reasons.
Causes
Why heart function goes down
-
Heart attacks
Like heart attacks where after heart attack, heart muscle dies & heart function goes down. Less than 30% heart pumping function is considered to be poor / low heart function, usually occur of one major or multiple heart attacks.
-
Advanced valve disease
It can also occur in advanced heart valve disease.
-
Long standing hypertension
Sustained high blood pressure that weakens the heart muscle over years.
-
Heart defects
Structural heart defects, etc., causing heart failure.
Treatment
When bypass surgery is advised
If heart failure is because of heart attacks then usually coronary bypass surgery is advised or beneficial. In poor heart function when heart pumping reduces to less than 30%, it becomes high risk heart surgery and requires special expertise to do “Coronary artery bypass surgery” in this subject of patients.
CABG in poor heart function is a successful treatment to improve heart function & reduce chances of further heart attack.
