Abstract
What Echocardiographic Measure Should Be Used to Assess Right Ventricular Function in Tetralogy of Fallot?
Highlights
The assessment of right ventricular (RV) function in patients with congenital heart disease is the focus of significant research and clinical interest
When deciding how to approach the assessment of RV function in Tetralogy Of Fallot (TOF) by echocardiography, which measures should be reported for clinical use? The American Society of Echocardiography has proposed a variety of diagnostic imaging modalities for the evaluation of patients with TOF, with a focus on older patients with repaired TOF [4]
Angle-independent, and less dependent on loading conditions compared to other echocardiographic measures, which is a convenient characteristic when dealing with volume loaded RVs in patients with TOF [15,16,17]
