Re: cardiac cath & open grafts?

[Guest guest]

Have faith in yourself Belinda!!! You got them right!!! Ejection volume is

correct, as is ejection fraction (amount of blood pumped by the heart). Just

depends on how your doc says it. I have a couple that say it EF, some say

ejection fraction, and some say ejection volume. The patient has apparently

had CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) done in the past, and they

must've done a cardiac catheterization to check on the grafts previously

done to make sure they were still open (you also hear this as " patent " ).

Have a good one!!

You know you're getting old when you can remember paying the same price for

a gallon of gas you now pay for a postage stamp.
