Myocardial performance index formula

Case contributed by Ayush Goel

Fetal ventricular inlet outlet flow diagram

  • E wave = passive flow from Atrium to Ventricle

  • A wave = atrial contraction

  • c = isovolumetric contraction time (IVCT)

  • S = ventricular systole, et = ejection time

  • r = isovolumetric relaxation time (IVCT)

  • MPI = myocardial performance index
