Adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) are at risk for complications such as heart failure and sudden cardiac death, and identifying high-risk patients is important. Reduced left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function has been identified as a predictor of outcomes. However, LV ejection fraction is often preserved, and RV function is difficult to assess. With the introduction of strain analysis, an easy and more sensitive parameter became available. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between strain variables and cardiovascular events in patients with ToF. |
