Cardiac amyloidosis is an infiltrative disease causing predominant diastolic dysfunction and systolic dysfunction at its advanced stage. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathies. However, the assessment of RV function is still technically difficult because of the complicated geometry of the RV. The recently proposed Tei index, obtained from the cardiac time interval analysis, allows noninvasive and quantitative estimation of global ventricular function without geometric evaluation. Therefore, this study was designed to assess RV function for patients with cardiac amyloidosis.
