The % is the ejection fraction - left ventricular ejection fraction, known as LVEF. The MUGA measures (somehow, don't ask me for any real details!) the rate at which blood is pumped through the heart. I was told anything over 50% is good. I was at 70% before AC, then 69% after, 65% before starting Herceptin, and was told last week that last MUGA (after 3 months of Herceptin) was fine, but was given no actual % yet. I think the concern is if it drops more than about 15% in a certain period, and/or if it goes below 50%, but then again I don't even play a doctor on TV...!
