Wow, an EF of 74 was really high to begin with, not that that is bad. A 64 EF is still considered to be very good. I was told that if it falls below 50 that is reason for concern. Mine was just 60% and I was told that is great so I wouldn't be too concerned. Perhaps the 74 was an error to begin with. Maybe repeat with an echo for clarification. Echo gives a lot more info than a muga as well. I don't think you have anything to worry about but then again, I am not a doctor.
