• It really depends on your lifestyle (stress levels, diet, physical activity, etc), and making sure you take your medications. If all is well, you should be expected to live a long, normal, healthy life with little to no complication. Don't get too caught up with ejection factor, but rather with how you feel. Ejection factor can be improved over time with exercise and medications.
