Why the study?
Can transthoracic echocardiography indices accurately identify non-significant pulmonary regurgitation compared to cardiac magnetic resonance in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot?
Can transthoracic echocardiography indices accurately identify non-significant pulmonary regurgitation compared to cardiac magnetic resonance in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot?
Simple echocardiographic parameters like PR vena contracta and PR index can reliably identify mild pulmonary regurgitation, potentially reducing the need for routine CMR in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.

Supports TTE vena contracta for mild PR screening in repaired TOF; leaves open prospective CMR validation.
