Systolic Time Intervals and New Measurement Methods

Kouhyar Tavakolian. Cardiovasc Eng Technol. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Systolic time intervals have been used to detect and quantify the directional changes of left ventricular function. New methods of recording these cardiac timings, which are less cumbersome, have been recently developed and this has created a renewed interest and novel applications for these cardiac timings. This manuscript reviews these new methods and addresses the potential for the application of these cardiac timings for the diagnosis and prognosis of different cardiac diseases.

Keywords: Electromechanical delay (EMD); Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF); Left ventricular ejection time (LVET); Pre-ejection period (PEP).
