AbstractBackground: Assessment of right ventricular function is a key point in the follow-up of operated patients with tetralogy of Fallot. Cardiac magnetic resonance assessment of right ventricular function is considered the gold standard. However, this technique is expensive, has limited availability, and requires significant expertise to acquire and interpret the images. Myocardial performance index and isovolumic acceleration have recently been studied for the assessment of right ventricular function and are shown to be simple yet powerful tools for assessing patients with right ventricular dysfunction of various origins. Methods: In this study, the integrity of myocardial performance index and isovolumic acceleration obtained by tissue Doppler imaging echocardiography to quantify right ventricular function was assessed in 31 patients operated for tetralogy of Fallot. Myocardial performance index and isovolumic acceleration measurements were compared with the parameters derived by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Results: In this study, a significant correlation has not been detected between cardiac magnetic resonance-originated right ventricular ejection fraction, pulmonary regurgitation fraction and myocardial performance index, isovolumic acceleration obtained by tissue Doppler imaging echocardiography from the lateral tricuspid annulus of the right ventricle. Conclusion: We have concluded that when evaluated separately, myocardial performance index and isovolumic acceleration obtained from tissue Doppler imaging echocardiography can be used in the long-term follow-up of patients who have been operated for tetralogy of Fallot, but that they do not show correlation with cardiac magnetic resonance-originated right ventricle ejection fraction and pulmonary regurgitation fraction.

Diastolic Velocity

In diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, left ventricular dysfunction is widely evaluated and established by conventional diagnostic methods, whereas right ventricular (RV) function is not sufficiently evaluated. The aim of this study was to assess the right ventricular function in type 2 diabetic patients by myocardial performance index (MPI) . In this cross-sectional study, 49 diabetic patients and 49 non-diabetic healthy volunteers were studied who were devoid of any other conditions that may influence the both systolic and diastolic function of the RV. In addition to 2D and M-mode evaluation, standard Doppler, pulsed tissue Doppler of both ventricles were performed. MPI was significantly (p<0.05) higher in diabetic patients compared to control group . Right ventricular early diastolic velocity (E‘) and late diastolic velocity (A‘), E‘/A‘ were significantly (p<0.05) lower in DM compared to control group. Myocardial performance index is a useful noninvasive tool for the detection of early right ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in diabetic patients .University Heart Journal Vol. 10, No. 1, January 2014; 3-6
