Influence of Perindopril on Left Ventricular Global Performance During the Early Phase of Inferior Acute Myocardial Infarction: Assessment by Tei Index

Abstract

Global LV function (DI) is impaired in patients with AMI-I. Administration of perindopril has a favorable impact on LV performance in patients with AMI-I, achieved through improvement of the diastolic function (IRT), which indirectly improves LV systolic function (ET, DI). This beneficial influence of perindopril is the result of the direct tissue effect of the drug and not its hemodynamic action.
