Pre-operative Tei Index does not predict left ventricular function immediately after mitral valve repair

Pre-operative Tei Index does not predict left ventricular function immediately after mitral valve repair

Echocardiographic assessment of systolic left ventricular (LV) function in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing mitral valve (MV) repair can be challenging because the measurement of ejection fraction (EF) or fractional area change (FAC) in pathological states is of questionable...
