Echocardiographic predictors of early in-hospital heart failure during first ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction: does myocardial performance index and left atrial volume improve diagnosis over conventional parameters of left ventricular function?

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2011
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been considered a major determinant of early outcome in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Fluid challenge and left ventricular myocardial performance index assessed by transthoracic echocardiography with tissue Doppler imaging in critically ill patients with regular rhythm

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundFluid challenge may increase cardiac index but can also compromise diastolic function. The myocardial performance index, derived from tissue Doppler imaging, integrates systolic and diastolic performance into a single measure that may reflect ...

Might female patients benefit more from bariatric surgery with respect to inflammation

Frontiers in Surgery, 2022
BackgroundBariatric surgery is an effective method for severe obesity and its related comorbidities, in which inflammation plays a crucial role. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive ...

Epicardial fat thickness as associated with left ventricular myocardial performance in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2015
Objective: Epicardial fat thickness (EFth) is associated with both left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and diastolic dysfunction. However, the effect of EFth on myocardial performance is not known.

Right ventricular volumes and function in thalassemia major patients in the absence of myocardial iron overload

, 2010
Aim: We aimed to define reference ranges for right ventricular (RV) volumes, ejection fraction (EF) in thalassemia major patients (TM) without myocardial iron overload.Methods and results: RV volumes, EF and mass were measured in 80 TM patients who had ...

Beat‐to‐beat variability of fetal myocardial performance index [PDF]

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2017
ABSTRACTObjectivesTo determine whether there is beat‐to‐beat (BTB) variability in the fetal left myocardial performance index (MPI), as evaluated by an automated system, and whether there is a correlation between MPI and fetal heart rate (FHR).MethodsThis was a prospective cross‐sectional study of uncomplicated, morphologically normal, singleton ...
