dc.description Aim Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the leading causes of low ejection fraction (EF) heart failure (HF). The Tei index is a reliable marker that reflects both left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, and it has prognostic value in patients with DCM. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the Tei index and long-term survival in non-ischemic, DCM patients. Material and methods The present study included 98 patients with non-ischemic DCM. The mean survival time of the patients was 59 mos. Results The Tei index was prominently higher in patients who died (0.64±0.08 vs 0.71±0.12, respectively; p=0.01). LV end-systolic volume and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) were independent prognostic factors and predicted worse long-term survival. Additionally, the patients with LVEF ≥32.7% and the Tei index ≤0.76 had significantly longer survival. Conclusion The present study showed that the Tei index was significantly associated with mortality and the patients with both low LVEF (≤32.7%) and high Tei index (≥0.76) values had a shorter life expectancy. As a result, we suggest that the Tei index may be a useful echocardiographic marker to predict long-term survival in DCM patients.
