Assessment of myocardial function by tissue Doppler imaging myocardial performance index in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between myocardial function assessed by tissue Doppler imaging myocardial performance index (TDI-MPI) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Materials and Methods: The study comprised 128 patients (males, 55; females, 73; 68 ± 19 years) with acute ischemic stroke. 20 patients were excluded. Patients were divided into two groups based on the calculated NIHSS score (Group 1, NIHSS score < 16; Group 2, NIHSS score ≥ 16). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data for all patients were collected. Cardiac function was evaluated by transthorasic echocardiography within 48 hours of admission to the neurology care unit.
Results: There were no significant differences among demographic parameters of patients. Tissue Doppler myocardial performance index was significantly higher in Group 2 patients than in Group 1 patients (0.62±0.28 vs 0.46±0.16).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that TDI-MPI is associated with stroke severity on admission in patients with acute ischemic stroke. TDI-MPI is an indicator of global myocardial dysfunction with a different from LVEF. TDI-MPI, which includes both systolic and diastolic time intervals to assess the global cardiac dysfunction.
