This editorial refers to "Myocardial performance index, a Doppler-derived index of global left ventricular function, predicts congestive heart failure in elderly man" by J. Ärnlöv et al. on page 2220 and "The effects of changes in loading conditions and modulation of inotropic state on the myocardial performance index: comparison with conductance catheter measurements" by M.M.H. Cheung et al. on page 2238{dagger}

Clinicians are familiar with the diagnostic and prognostic implications of some of the cardiac intervals that are audible at the bedside. They usually result from myocardial or valvular events that are affected by function, haemodynamics, and electrical activity of the heart. Correctly auscultating an S4 or S3 gallop sound enables clinicians to diagnose abnormal myocardial relaxation, compliance, or both with . . . [Full Text of this Article]
