The current literature on the clinical application of measurement of systolic time intervals is reviewed. The values in question are defined and discussed and their position in clinical medicine is critically evaluated. It emerges the PEP/LVET (defined in text) is the best indicator for clinical evaluation of circulatory changes during the course of heart disease. The heart diseases in which this method cannot be employed are discussed. The fact that this non-invasive method can provide information on important functional changes in the circulation accounts for the interest in the method shown in intensive care units.
本文综述了目前关于收缩期时间间期测量临床应用的文献。对相关数值进行了定义和讨论，并对其在临床医学中的地位进行了批判性评估。结果表明，PEP/LVET（文中定义）是心脏病过程中循环系统变化临床评估的最佳指标。讨论了不能采用该方法的心脏病类型。这种非侵入性方法能够提供循环系统重要功能变化的信息，这一事实解释了重症监护病房对该方法的关注。
