The Value of the Tei Index in Predicting Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Shocks. [PDF]
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) decreases the risk of sudden death in the appropriate patients. However, a relationship between ICD shocks and increased mortality and morbidity has been suspected. This report is an investigation of an association between ICD shocks and the Tei index, an echocardiographic parameter now commonly used to ...

Tei Index Is the Best Echocardiographic Parameter for Assessing Right Ventricle Function in Patients With Unrepaired Congenital Heart Diseases With Outflow Tract Obstruction [PDF]
Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardiac catheterization are diagnostic tools for right ventricle dysfunction (RVD), but those are expensive and often unavailable techniques.

Fetal cardiac function assessed by Doppler myocardial performance index (Tei Index) [PDF]
AbstractObjectivesThe Tei Index (TI) is a useful, non‐invasive, Doppler‐derived myocardial performance tool which can be used to assess aspects of systolic and diastolic function. The aim of this study was to determine normal values of fetal left ventricular (LV) TI in second‐ and third‐ trimester fetuses and to compare these to other values reported ...

The Association Between Tei Index And Severity Of Coronary Artery Disease In Patients With Unstable Angina [PDF]
Background and aim: Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide. The myocardial performance index (Tei index) is an accepted method for the evaluation of the systolic and diastolic function of the heart.

Effect of oval foramen restriction and premature contraction of the arterial catheter on right heart function of fetuses and infants [PDF]
Objective The effect of fetal oval foramen restriction and premature contraction of the arterial catheter for the right heart function of fetuses and infants was studied by evaluating the right and left ventricular (RV/LV) ratios, the tricuspid annular ...

Bridging TG-116 and TG-232: A retrospective multi-vendor evaluation of deviation index re-centering and process control in digital radiography. [PDF]
Abstract Background The deviation index (DI) is a vendor‐neutral indicator of detector exposure relative to the configured target exposure index (TEI). Because TEI is a protocol value rather than a calibrated physical quantity, poorly aligned TEI settings can create systematic DI offsets, obscure protocol problems, and prevent meaningful statistical ...

A TEI Customization for Writing TEI Customizations [PDF]
A schema, in general, is intended to be used to check a document for errors before those errors cause problems in processing. However, schemas can also help us write our documents.
