Fetal Cardiac Function: Myocardial Performance Index [PDF]
Current Cardiology Reviews, 2022 Abstract: The Myocardial Performance Index (MPI) or Tei index, presented by Tei in 1995, is the ratio of the sum of the duration of the isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) and isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) to the duration of the ejection time (ET).

The Cardiac Caval Index: Improving Noninvasive Assessment of Cardiac Preload
Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2021 ObjectivesInferior vena cava (IVC) pulsatility quantified by the Caval Index (CI) is characterized by poor reliability, also due to the irregular magnitude of spontaneous respiratory activity generating the major pulsatile component. The aim of this study was to test whether the IVC cardiac oscillatory component could provide a more stable index ...
