Aims Many patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) have right ventricular (RV) volume
overload due to pulmonary regurgitation (PR). We studied the effect of volume overload on …

OBJECTIVES: To assess ventricular dysfunction and ventricular interaction after repair of
Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) employing echocardiography speckle-tracking and cardiac …

Background Right ventricular (RV) volume overload results in RV dilatation and dysfunction
in patients with pulmonary regurgitation after tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) repair, affecting left …

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of pulmonary
regurgitation (PR) and right ventricle (RV) volume on left ventricle (LV) longitudinal strain …

Highlights•Myocardial deformation imaging shows impaired cardiac mechanics in repaired
TOF.•Ventricular mechanics are associated with ejection fraction and dyssynchrony.• …

Purpose: To test the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in early detection of left
ventricular (LV) dysfunction in patients with pulmonary regurgitation and normal LV ejection …

Background Data about the right ventricular (RV) mechanics adaptation to volume overload
in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) are limited. Accordingly, we sought to …

Abstract Aims After tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair patients have right ventricular (RV)
dysfunction and reduced exercise tolerance. Diastolic dysfunction may be important but is as …

Background Echocardiogram has limitations in effectively assessing right ventricular (RV)
function in children post tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. We evaluated the utility of speckle …

Aims To determine whether the restrictive physiology seen in Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
patients can be explained by fibrosis of the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract. The aetiology …
