Six years ago, I had a silent heart attack. My LAD was/is 100% occluded midway, a stent was implanted on 98% blocked RCA, and the circumflex is 72% occluded, no stent. Tests showed some heart wall cell damage and that caused my ejection fraction to be below 29%. Apparently, the heart cells were just stunned or hibernating cells. These cells can be revitalized with timely treatment that provides a good supply of oxygenated blood and EF can return to normal (55 to 75% blood pumped out of circulation with each heartbeat).
Obviously,a 100% occluded LAD would be fatal, but other vessels developed (angiogeneisis, arteriogenesis) that feeds into the area that originally was fed by LAD. I, also, was able to do normal exertion and work without any symptoms. I felt very good, after several days in ICU to normalize oxygen ratio after congested heart failure. No problems since that event.
An echo with good reliability can determine whether there is heart wall impairment (damaged heart cells) medically referred to as hypokinesis or akinesis (dead cells). The impaired wall reduces contractility and that lowers the EF. The echo can measure volume when the heart chamber is filled (maximum volume) and measure again after contraction (least volume) and get an estimate of the ejection fraction (EF).
Your PCP can advise if there is any further testing required.
