Abstract
The Tei index may be a useful tool for the assessment of fetal cardiac status in a variety of sick fetuses. Recipient fetuses in TTTS, LGA fetuses of diabetic mothers, and hydrops fetalis fetuses may have abnormal myocardial performance. The Tei index readily provides early detection of diminished myocardial function, particularly ventricular dysfunction.
