DOI: 10.1002/bdr2.1057
Abstract: BACKGROUND A substantial proportion of infants born with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) die in infancy. A better understanding of the heterogeneity associated with TOF, including extracardiac malformations and chromosomal anomalies is vital to stratifying risk… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/bdr2.2090
Abstract: Environmental factors may influence the development of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), and DNA methylation patterns may reveal specific chemical signatures of perturbations during cardiac development. We investigated whether blood and buccal cells could be viable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cnm.3436
Abstract: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital heart anomaly that causes a drastic reduction in the oxygen level. In this study, we coupled a lumped-parameter model with a patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) model which included a… read more here.

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: 10.1002/pd.6102
Abstract: Past studies of fetal tetralogy of fallot (ToF) have reported extra‐cardiac anomalies (ECAs) in 17%–45%, genetic syndromes in as low as 20% and poor postnatal outcomes. This study sought to examine these factors in a… 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/s00246-018-1913-9
Abstract: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) often carries long-term seqüelae following surgical intervention. We hypothesized that early perioperative factors are associated with long-term adverse right ventricular (RV) remodeling, diminished exercise capacity, and increased morbidity. We conducted a… read more here.
