Myocardial performance index for assessment of left ventricular outcome in successfully recanalised anterior myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the myocardial performance index (MPI) can predict left ventricular functional outcome in patients with early recanalisation after anterior acute myocardial infarction (MI) and to determine when the index should be measured. DESIGN MPI was measured serially by two dimensional Doppler echocardiography after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). L...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of left atrial volume index in elderly patients with anterior wall myocardial infarction.
Enlarged left atrium (LA) predicts outcomes in patients with heart failure, atrial fibrillation and stroke. Left atrial volume (LAV) especially when corrected for body size (LAVi), is a more accurate representation of true LA size. Therefore we studied left atrial volume index (LAVi) in elderly patients with left ventricle anterior infarction and correlated LAVi with left ventricle ejection fra...

متن کاملRelationship between Tei index of myocardial performance and left ventricular geometry in Nigerians with systemic hypertension
INTRODUCTION Left ventricular geometry is associated with cardiovascular events and prognosis. The Tei index of myocardial performance is a combined index of systolic and diastolic dysfunction and has been shown to be a predictor of cardiovascular outcome in heart diseases. The relationship between the Tei index and left ventricular geometry has not been well studied. This study examined the as...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Diastolic Dyssynchrony in Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients: Does It Predict Future Left Ventricular Remodeling?
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is well-known complication after myocardial infarction (MI) and numerous studies have emphasized the clinical importance of ventricular remod-eling. 1-4) In these literatures, progressive LV dilatation and decreased LV ejection fraction were major determinants in future development of heart failure and long term survival. That is why early recognition of patient...
