    Background: Myocardial performance index (MPI) was reported as a parameter of ventricular systolic and diastolic function, as well as a useful tool to predict the outcome in patients with ventricular dysfunction. Hypothesis: To compare MPI with classical echocardiographic parameters as an independent marker of death in children with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM). Methods: Fifty-five children (13 deaths) underwent 104 echocardiograms from January 1996 to May 2005. Right ventricle (RV) MPI and left ventricle (LV) MPI, and 9 classical echocardiographic parameters (left atrium [LA]/body surface area [BSA], distance between mitral E point and ventricular septum, LV mass/body surface area, RV shortening fraction, LV end-systolic and end-diastolic dimensions/body surface area, LV ejection fraction, fiber circumferential shortening velocity, and mitral deceleration time) were compared. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-square, Pearson's correlation and Student t-test, Kaplan-Meier method, Cox's method, and receiver operating curve (ROC). Statistical significance was considered with alpha<0.05 and p=0.80]. Results: Univariate analysis showed that all studied parameters were markers of death. There was a high correlation between RVMPI and LVMPI (r=0.847]-p=0.0001]); therefore, to avoid bias, RVMPI was discharged from multivariate analysis. In the deceased group, moderate/severe mitral regurgitation was frequent (76.9%; confidence interval [CI[ 95%=46.2%- 94.9%) and it was considered in multivariate analysis. In Cox's multivariate analysis, LVMPI was the only independent marker of death (p=0.0213]). The ideal cut-off was 0.63 with 92.3% sensitivity, 66.7% specificity, and fitted ROC area=0.918]. Conclusions: In children with IDCM, LVMPI is an independent marker of death.
