Treatments tested in this trial

  • Echocardiography

    Procedure/Surgery

    Modified MPI is obtained by placing the Doppler sample volume on the medial wall of the ascending aorta including the AV and MV, hence the movements of both valves are recorded simultaneously in the Doppler spectrum through measurements of the isovolumetric contraction time (ICT), isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) and ejection time (ET). The isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) was measured from the closure of the MV to the opening of the AV, the ejection time (ET) from the opening to the closure of the AV, and the isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) from the closure of the AV to the opening of the MV. The MPI (Tei index) was calculated using the following equation: MPI= (ICT + IRT)/ET

Treatment groups
