Abstract
The use of systolic time intervals (STI) to measure left ventricular function has been advocated since the turn of the twentieth century (1). Until the development of methods directly measuring left ventricular function, however, STI were largely ignored in the clinical setting. Weissler and his group defined a range of values for the STI in normal individuals and showed that patients with left ventricular failure had abnormal STI (2). Many studies have defined the effect of various cardiac lesions, positive and negative inotropic drugs, anesthetics, and other manipulations on STI (3, 4, 5).
