Abstract

Long-term outcome in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is related to chronic pulmonary insufficiency (PI), right ventricular (RV) dilation, and deterioration of RV function. The aim of this study was to characterize clinical differences between restrictive and nonrestrictive RV physiology in young patients with repaired TOF.
