Approximately 50 million adults worldwide have known congenital heart disease (CHD).
Among the most common types of CHD defects in adults are atrial septal defects and …

TETRALOGY OF FALLOT (TOF) is one of the most common congenital cardiac disorders,
accounting for roughly 10% of all congenital heart malformations and representing the most …

Background Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion measured by M‐mode (MM‐TAPSE)
has been validated as a marker of right ventricular systolic performance. A similar …

Background and Aim of the Study Outcomes after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are good
with either a transventricular (TV) or transatrial (TA) approach. We sought to determine if …

Pulmonary and/or tricuspid valve dysfunction is common among individuals with congenital
heart disease, and surgical intervention often carries prohibitive risks. Transcatheter valve …

CMR provides invaluable morphologic, hemodynamic, and functional data that help guide
diagnosis, assessment, and management of pediatric and adult congenital heart disease. As …

Congenital heart disease affects approximately 1% of live births per year. In recent years,
there has been a decrease in the morbidity and mortality of these cases due to advances in …

Due to advances in cardiac surgery, perioperative care and transcatheter interventions, the
majority of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) now survive and reach adulthood …

OBJECTIVES Many adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot will require a pulmonary valve
replacement (PVR), but there is no consensus on the best timing. In this study, we aim to …

Background Challenges remain in quantitative evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function
by echocardiography. Multiple‐view assessment is believed to provide a more …
