Key result
Cross sectional echocardiography accurately assessed left ventricular volumes and satisfactorily estimated ejection fraction in children with tetralogy of Fallot compared to biplane angiography.
Why the study?
Does cross sectional echocardiography accurately assess left ventricular volume and ejection fraction compared to biplane angiography in children with tetralogy of Fallot?
Cross-Sectional (n=28)
Does cross sectional echocardiography accurately assess left ventricular volume and ejection fraction compared to biplane angiography in children with tetralogy of Fallot?
Cross sectional echocardiography can accurately assess left ventricular volumes and satisfactorily estimate ejection fraction in children with tetralogy of Fallot, particularly using the area length method with parasternal long axis and sub-xiphoid views.

Supports echocardiography for LV assessment in pediatric tetralogy of Fallot; leaves open prospective validation against modern modalities.
Oberhänsli et al. (1984) conducted a cross-sectional in Tetralogy of Fallot (n=28). Cross sectional echocardiography vs. Biplane angiograms was evaluated on Correlation of left ventricular volume and ejection fraction between echocardiography and biplane angiography. Cross sectional echocardiography accurately assessed left ventricular volumes and satisfactorily estimated ejection fraction in children with tetralogy of Fallot compared to biplane angiography.
