Abstract
Myocardial performance index, the sum of the 2 isovolumic times divided by the ejection time, contains information on global systolic and diastolic function. This study was performed to determine the feasibility of right ventricular myocardial performance index measurements if measured by transesophageal echocardiography in patients under general anesthesia and positive-pressure ventilation.
