| Popis: | Background: Despite major advances in intracardiac surgery since Lillehei and Varco reported the first tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair by an open-heart procedure in 1954, right ventricular (RV) dysfunction remains an important clinical problem during the postoperative periods following TOF correction.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the department of paediatric cardiology in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib medical university (BSMMU), Shahbag, Dhaka in collaboration with national heart foundation hospital and research institute (NHFH and RI) Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from July 2018 to June 2019.

Results: The study was conducted on 49 patients, comprising 30 males and 19 females’ children, and their mean age was 75.38±52.22 months. RV dysfunction global was 63.3% at 24 hours of operation, significantly reduced 49% and 32.7% at 7th and 30th POD respectively.
