Overview
The Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Estimator calculates LVEF from end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV) using LVEF = (EDV − ESV) / EDV. It also reports stroke volume and an ejection-fraction category. This tool is for estimation and education, not medical advice.
When to use
Estimate LVEF from EDV and ESV values obtained from cardiac imaging.
Calculate stroke volume and review whether the result falls within the tool's reference categories.
Check the arithmetic behind an echocardiography, MRI, angiography, or other cardiac imaging measurement.
How it works
1Enter the left ventricular end-diastolic volume (EDV) in milliliters.
2Enter the left ventricular end-systolic volume (ESV) in milliliters; ESV must be less than or equal to EDV.
3The tool calculates stroke volume as EDV − ESV and LVEF as stroke volume divided by EDV.
4The result returns LVEF as a percentage, an ejection-fraction category, and the selected number of decimal places.
Use cases
Reviewing LVEF calculations from echocardiography or other cardiac imaging measurements.
Teaching the relationship between EDV, ESV, stroke volume, and systolic function.
Performing a quick arithmetic check when documenting or studying cardiac volume data.
Examples
1. Normal LVEF calculation
Cardiology student
Background
A student wants to verify how ventricular volumes produce a normal ejection fraction.
Problem
Calculate stroke volume and LVEF from EDV of 120 mL and ESV of 48 mL.
How to use
Enter 120 for EDV, 48 for ESV, and select 1 decimal place.
EDV: 120 mL; ESV: 48 mL; Decimal places: 1
Outcome
Stroke volume is 72 mL and LVEF is 60.0%, categorized as a normal ejection fraction.
2. Reduced LVEF calculation
Clinical trainee
Background
A trainee is checking the calculation for a case with a larger end-diastolic volume and a high end-systolic volume.
Problem
Calculate LVEF from EDV of 180 mL and ESV of 126 mL.
How to use
Enter 180 for EDV, 126 for ESV, and select 1 decimal place.
EDV: 180 mL; ESV: 126 mL; Decimal places: 1

FAQ
What inputs does the estimator require?
Enter EDV and ESV in milliliters. You can also set the number of decimal places.
What is the LVEF formula?
LVEF = (EDV − ESV) / EDV. The result is also shown as a percentage.
What is stroke volume?
Stroke volume is the difference between EDV and ESV: SV = EDV − ESV.
How are the results categorized?
The tool identifies normal ejection fraction at 50–70%, reduced ejection fraction below 40%, and hyperdynamic ejection fraction above 70%.
Can this result diagnose heart disease?
No. LVEF depends on measurement and loading conditions, so the result should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional.
