A Comparative Study to Evaluate the Pre and Post-Operative Electrocardiographic and Echocardiographic Changes in Children with Tetralogy of Fallot Undergoing Modified Blalock–Taussig–Thomas Shunt Surgery
Key Points
The study aims to evaluate the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes following shunt surgery in children with tetralogy of Fallot.
Conducted a comparative evaluation pre and post-operative.
Involved measurements of hemodynamics, ECG, and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).
Notable improvements in pulmonary blood flow were observed.
Changes in hemodynamics and ECG parameters correlated with surgery.
Abstract
Changes observed in the hemodynamics, blood gas parameters, ECG, and TTE are consistent with improved pulmonary blood flow.
