Overview

LA dysfunction evident late after TOF repair; leaves open whether 3DSTE aids risk stratification in congenital disease.

Structured PICO

Does 3D speckle-tracking echocardiography reveal impaired left atrial function in adult patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot compared to healthy controls?

P
Population
19 adult patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot (cTOF) in sinus rhythm (mean age 37.9 ± 11.3 years, 8 men, repair at age 4.1 ± 2.5 years) and 23 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (mean age 39.2 ± 10.6 years, 14 men) from Hungary.
I
Intervention
Three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE)
C
Comparator
Age- and gender-matched healthy controls
O
Outcome
Left atrial (LA) volumes, volume-based functional properties, and strain parameterssurrogate

3D speckle-tracking echocardiography demonstrates significant deterioration of left atrial reservoir and booster pump functions in adult patients late after tetralogy of Fallot repair.
