Why the study?
Does Doppler time interval-derived myocardial performance index (MPI) accurately diagnose acute right ventricular myocardial infarction in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction?
Does Doppler time interval-derived myocardial performance index (MPI) accurately diagnose acute right ventricular myocardial infarction in patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction?
Doppler-derived RV MPI is a highly sensitive and specific noninvasive echocardiographic tool for diagnosing and serially assessing right ventricular dysfunction in acute right ventricular myocardial infarction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
RV MPI may support noninvasive RVMI diagnosis in inferior MI; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before practice change.
Chockalingam et al. (2004) studied this question.
