Usefulness of the ratio of brachial pre-ejection period to brachial ejection time in prediction of cardiovascular and overall mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Usefulness of the ratio of brachial pre-ejection period to brachial ejection time in prediction of cardiovascular and overall mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Left ventricular systolic function is a good indicator of cardiac function and a powerful predictor of adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. High ratio of pre-ejection period (PEP) to ejection time (ET) is associated with reduced left ventricular systolic function. Brachial PEP (bPEP) and brachial E...
