Abstract
This method of using systolic time intervals was validated by direct measures from within the circulatory system. Standards for equipment and technique were defined. Numerous clinical studies demonstrated the value of this quantitative noninvasive technique for assessing left ventricular performance. There is need for further studies of the clinical usefulness of the systolic time intervals to improve diagnosis and therapy of various human cardiovascular disorders.This publication has 65 references indexed in Scilit:
