P<0.001 considered significant. LV indicates left ventricle; RVFW, right ventricular free-wall; MPAP/MAP, mean pulmonary-to-systemic arterial pressure ratio; PVRi, indexed pulmonary vascular resistance; IVS, interventricular septum; Basal Septal, average longitudinal strain of basal and mid IVS segments.
