Tei Index Is the Best Echocardiographic Parameter for Assessing Right Ventricle Function in Patients With Unrepaired Congenital Heart Diseases With Outflow Tract Obstruction

Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardiac catheterization are diagnostic tools for right ventricle dysfunction (RVD), but those are expensive and often unavailable techniques. Thus, our objective was to identify clinical and/or echocardiographic variables capable of predicting a cathet...
