Systolic Time Intervals: Comparison of Echocardiographic and Conventional Methods

  • Conference paper
Book cover Systolic Time Intervals

Part of the book series: International Boehringer Mannheim Symposia ((BOEHRINGER))

Abstract

Systolic time intervals (STI) obtained from indirect carotid pulse tracings, phonocardiograms, and electrocardiograms (ECG) have been found to correlate well with those obtained by direct catheterization techniques (1, 2). These measurements have been useful in the evaluation of left ventricular function for clinical as well as investigational purposes (3–6).
