Estimation of left ventricular global function by Tei index in patients with acute myocardial infarction / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of a new index - Tei index for estimating left ventricular global function in patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods The study population included 95 patients with acute myocardial infarction.They were divided into two groups according to EF measured by echocardiography in apical four chamber view:one group with normal EF(EF≥50%,n=52)(group A),the other with abnormal EF(EF
