| Popis: | Objective—To assess the relation between immediate postoperative right ventricular (RV) diastolic physiology and subsequent diastolic function in patients after repair of tetralogy of Fallot. Design—Serial prospective echocardiographic study early after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot and at mid-term follow up. Setting—Tertiary referral centre. Patients—34 patients who had repair of tetralogy of Fallot between 1992 and 1995 were studied. Main outcome measures—Restrictive RV physiology defined as antegrade flow in the pulmonary artery in late diastole throughout the respiratory cycle. Results—Sixteen of the 34 patients had early restrictive RV physiology. The need for transannular patch repair was an independent variable predictive of early restriction (odds ratio 4.3 (1.1-47), p |
