The population of adults living with congenital heart disease (CHD) has grown rapidly in
recent decades due to major advances in surgical and medical care. Although the benefits …

Background The benefits of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) for pulmonary insufficiency
in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot are still incompletely understood, and optimal …

Background: Correction of tetralogy of Fallot (cTOF) often results in pulmonary valve
pathology and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Reduced exercise capacity in cTOF …

Abstract Background Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart
disease and the population of ToF repair survivors is growing rapidly. Adults with repaired …

Background Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides a comprehensive objective
assessment in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). However, the evidence …

By comparison with adults, cardiopulmonary exercise testing in children with Tetralogy of
Fallot is limited, and its clinical application less clarified. This study provides a …

Tetralogy of Fallot is a complex heart defect characterized by the presence of a multilevel
right ventricular outflow pathway, resulting in right ventricular hypertrophy and misalignment …

Methods Seventy-four CPETs were completed in 58 child and adolescents with repaired
TOF (age 13.8±2.4 years). CPET parameters were corrected for age, sex and body size …
