<Update>
key will toggle between active calipers, allowing you to re-position
the PS point or ED point.
6. Press the

TEI
: The TEI index measurement is useful for the assessment of ventricular systolic and diastolic
function. Higher TEI index indicates decreased ventricular function.
To use the TEI measurement:
1. Invoke the Measure Function on a Doppler strip.
2. Select
TEI
from the touch screen.
3. Measure Time A (Mitral Valve Close-Open Duration ) by caliper pairs.
4. Measure Time B (Ventricular Ejection Time) by caliper pairs.
5. The system calculates the TEI index automatically. The illustration is shown below:
dp/dt
: The left ventricular dp/dt measurement is a useful index for evaluating myocardial contractility.
To use the dp/dt measurement:
1. Invoke the Measure Function on a Doppler strip.
2. Select
dp/dt
from the touch screen.
3. Move the caliper to the position at the 100 cm/s scale on one of the cardiac cycles and press
the
<Set>
key.
4. Move the caliper to the position at 300 cm/s scale on the same cardiac cycle and press the
<Set>
key. The time difference "
dt "
between the two positions come out
.
5. The system calculates dp/dt based on the
"dt "
value
. Formula:
dp/dt = 32/dt (mmHg/s)
