Overview

May warrant arrhythmia vigilance in post-repair tetralogy patients with PVCs plus heart failure; leaves open whether intervention improves survival.

Ventricular dysrhythmias in patients with premature ventricular contractions, particularly those with concurrent heart failure, may be the primary cause of sudden death after tetralogy of Fallot repair.
