The Tei index appears to have close correlation with the widely accepted systolic and
diastolic hemodynamic parameters19, 20 as well as potential for clinical application in the …

Abstract Background: The Tei index of myocardial performance (IMP), which combines
parameters of both systolic and diastolic ventricular function, is a useful prognostic factor in …

Background Congestive heart failure is related to contraction and relaxation abnormalities of
the ventricle. Isolated analysis of either mechanism may not be reflective of overall cardiac …

Congestive heart failure accounts for almost 40% of cardiovascular deaths in the western
World and is the most common hospital discharge diagnosis in patients over 65 years [1] …

Cardiac systolic (left ventricular ejection fraction) and diastolic (mitral inflow velocity pattern
and/or mitral deceleration time) function were reported as predictors of clinical outcome or …

Methods: The study included 105 patients (77 men) with first AMI who were classified into
four groups according to the severity of LV diastolic dysfunction: a) 25 patients with normal …

Background: The Tei index (TI) is a new echocardiographic/Doppler index of combined
systolic and diastolic function, calculated as isovolumic relaxation time plus isovolumic …

The Tei index is an echocardiographic index of combined systolic and diastolic function,
calculated as isovolumetric relaxation time plus isovolumetric contraction time divided by …

Review Article between 3 and 18 (0.33±0.02). Furthermore, in 5 children with dilated
cardiomyopathy, aged 12 to 17 years, the Tei index was significantly greater (0.78±0.28) …

Discusses the measurement and utility of the Tei index, also referred to as myocardial
performance index. Significance of systolic and diastolic ventricular function to prognosis; …
