Abstract
Systolic time interval (STI) measurements are sensitive indices of myocardial contractility. They reflect a number of factors such as stroke volume, aortic and left ventricular, end-diastolic pressures (1–3) or the level of adrenergic activity (4) which may affect the measured values in opposing directions.
