Implication

Impaired biatrial strain in repaired TOF may reflect ventricular diastolic dysfunction; leaves open its added value for risk stratification.

Population

54 patients (36 males), aged 17.8 ± 8.3 years, who had undergone surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) at 3.9 ± 3.3 years

Comparator

40 healthy subjects aged 16.9 ± 6.3 years

Outcome

Right and left atrial mechanics (peak positive, peak negative, and total strain, strain rate at ventricular systole, early diastole, and atrial contraction, and electromechanical delay) measured by speckle tracking echocardiographysurrogate

Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot exhibit impaired mechanics in both atria, which correlates with the diastolic performance of their respective ventricles.
