Exercise performance is variable and often impaired in patients with repaired tetralogy of
Fallot (rTOF). We sought to identify factors associated with exercise performance by …

Background Pulmonary insufficiency (PI) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are long-term
complications in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). The aim of this study was to …

Good quality of life correlates with a good exercise capacity in daily life in patients with
tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). Patients after correction of ToF usually develop residual defects …

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 …

Background Long-term biventricular systolic performance is a key determinant of clinical
outcomes late after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. A need exists for early indices of both left …

BACKGROUND: Adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) often have diminished
exercise capacity. The primary objective of this study was to examine whether abnormalities …

Adults with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have increased long-term mortality. The identification of
patients at greater risk for death or cardiac-related morbidity is challenging. This study was …

Parameters from cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) are useful prognostic factors for
patients with repaired tetralogy of fallot (TOF). Its application in exercise prescription remains …

Heart rate variability (HRV) has been used as a reliable method to detect cardiac autonomic
nervous system activity. Peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 peak) has been a predictor of death for …

In patients with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), reported peak oxygen
consumption (VO 2) is decreased compared with control subjects. The measurement of …
