Tei index, Doppler, ventricular function.Abstract
Echocardiography has become the standard non-invasive method for myocardical function evaluation. The Tei index evaluates the global performance ventricle obtained with the calculation of both function parameters diastolic as systolic. Although it is a useful method for the study of the left and rigth ventricular function, the truth is that there is more bibliography information about its utility in right pathology, mainly in the pulmonary embolism. In this article, we try to explain the steps which must always be followed to get the most accurate Tei index value.
