Left ventricular Tei index in athletes.
I read with great interest the recently published study by Stoylen et al. in the December, 2003, issue of European Journal of Echocardiography. The investigators reported that all intervals of the heart cycle and myocardial performance index (Tei) of left ventricle (LV) were shortened during incremental exercise. We also found that Tei index in athletes was significantly lower than that in the ...
متن کاملTei index as a method of evaluating left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in acute myocardial infarction.
INTRODUCTION The Doppler index of overall left ventricular (LV) myocardial performance--the Tei index--has been shown to be a reliable indicator of all changes in LV systolic dysfunction, retaining an inverse relationship with the ejection fraction. The aim of this study was to examine the corresponding behaviour in relation to LV diastolic dysfunction in patients with acute myocardial infarcti...
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 hypertrophy in athletes.
Participation in regular intensive exercise is associated with a modest increase in left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) and cavity size. The magnitude of these physiological changes is predominantly determined by a variety of demographic factors which include age, gender, size, ethnicity, and sporting discipline. A small minority of male athletes participating in sporting disciplines involvi...
متن کامل[Influence of preload reduction on Tei index and other Doppler echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular function].
OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of preload reduction by hemodialysis on Doppler Tei Index of myocardial performance and other parameters of cardiac function. METHODS The Tei index and left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function parameters were estimated, before and after a single hemodialysis session. Only subjects who were in sinus rhythm, without history of coronary artery disea...
