DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12630
Abstract: Adults with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) comprise one of the largest cohorts among adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). These patients have a higher burden of atrial arrhythmias (AA), leading to increased adverse events,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00246-017-1656-z
Abstract: Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. As a result of the surgical strategies employed at the time of initial repair, chronic pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is prevalent in this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00246-018-2045-y
Abstract: BackgroundIn patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), pulmonary regurgitation (PR) leads to significant morbidity. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the gold standard to assess severity of PR in rTOF patients. We compared Doppler… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00246-019-02181-5
Abstract: The timing of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in asymptomatic patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is typically based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging-derived ventricular volume measurements. Current criteria do not account for sex-based differences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2018.07.007
Abstract: BACKGROUND Patients with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) often have residual pulmonic valve regurgitation, leading to abnormal remodeling and dysfunction of the right ventricle often requiring pulmonic valve replacement. We tested the hypothesis that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2020.08.092
Abstract: BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis have prognostic implications in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), but their relationship with myocardial strain is not well understood. We evaluated systolic strain and fibrosis (extracellular… read more here.
