Structured PICO

Does baPWV-derived MPI accurately predict echocardiographic left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction?

Population

215 consecutively included patients

Intervention

baPWV-derived myocardial performance index (MPI) calculated from right brachial pre-ejection period (rbPEP), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and right brachial ejection time (rbET) using an ABI-form device

Comparator

Echocardiography

Outcome

Prediction of left ventricular dysfunction (defined as Ea <8 cm/s, E/Ea >10, or LVEF <50%)surrogate

BaPWV-derived MPI is a feasible novel parameter that correlates significantly with echocardiographic measures of global left ventricular function.
