Evaluation of myocardial performance index in smokers

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate MPI and left ventricular (LV) functions in patients without cardiac risk factors exceptsmoking. Smoking is associated with increased cardiovascular events. Myocardial performance index (MPI) is a noninvasive tissuedoppler technique that provides information about left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions.Material and Methods: A total of 50 smokers and 50 healthy volunteers were consequently included in the study. All participantsunderwent echocardiographic examinations, including MPI measurements.Results: We found that MPI values were significantly higher in the smoker group (0.52 ± 0.08, 0.42 ± 0.07, p< 0.001). E wave (0.73 ±0.18, 0.84 ± 0.25, p = 0.018), IVRT (77.52 ± 11.90, 61.80 ± 12.85, p
