Abstract
Our study concluded the following: 1. The present study found that there was a highly significant inverse correlation between PWTD derived Tei index and Ejection fraction in patients admitted with first acute myocardial infarction.
2. In The present study, PWTD derived Tei index was significantly
higher in patients with LV thrombus than those without on admission
and after 30 days. Patents with MPI >0.6 after AMI seem to be at higher
risk for LV thrombus formation.
3. The present study demonstrated that PWTD derived Tei index was useful as an indicator of LV function and predictor of outcome after AMI.
4. Tei index is a simple Doppler index, combines systolic and diastolic functions and could be easily obtained as a noninvasive bed side technique that can be used in critically ill patients with diagnostic and prognostic values.
5. Tei index measured by Doppler tissue imaging correlated well with conventional methods in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Moreover Tei index measured by PWTD had the advantage of systolic and diastolic velocity patterns simultaneously. So it can overcome some of the limitations of hemodynamically derived Tei index.
