This review highlights the utility of systolic time intervals as a non-invasive method for assessing left ventricular performance, especially in the context of clinical pharmacology.
Supports non-invasive LV assessment in drug studies; leaves open prospective validation against modern imaging.
Measurement of systolic time intervals is a valuable, non-invasive procedure to assess left ventricular performance, particularly when influenced by drugs. In this review, we discuss various factors affecting systolic time intervals, the therapeutic implications of the technique and its place among other non-invasive tests of cardiac function.
