Tetralogy of Fallot, myocardial deformation, congenital heart disease.Abstract
In patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, dysfunction of the right ventricle (RV) remains an important issue. Adverse right ventricular remodeling has been related to RV dilation secondary to pulmonary regurgitation, electromechanical dyssynchrony, and myocardial fibrosis. There is a growing body of literature on the use of myocardial deformation imaging in the assessment of ventricular mechanics and its clinical and prognostic values in determining the optimal timing of pulmonary valve replacement.
