<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I am 59 and was hospitalized for Congestive Heart Failure. After several tests were completed, I was told that I needed a new heart. My heart refraction was 16. With the medications that I am taking, my heart refraction is between 50 and 55. Is this good and what is the average heart valve refraction percentage?  <response>: Hi Headfirst of all I want to congratulate you for such a wonderful recovery. From the advice of needing a new heart and an Ejection fraction of 16 coming back to an ejection fraction of 50-55 which is near normal range is just wonderful. Yes is very good and normal range of EF varies between 55 to 80. You just need to follow all the medical advice strictly as these type of recoveries are very rare. Good Luck
