Echocardiographic evaluation is essential for assessing Tetralogy of Fallot, corrected TOF, its sequelae, and various complications in adult practice.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the echocardiographic evaluation of Tetralogy of Fallot, its sequelae, and complications, which is essential knowledge for adult cardiologists and sonographers.
Echocardiography remains central to adult TOF surveillance; leaves open need for prospective validation of evolving protocols.
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a cyanotic heart disease consisting of nonrestrictive ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, pulmonary stenosis, and right ventricular hypertrophy. Early total correction is the treatment of choice and these patients with repaired TOF are increasingly seen in adult practice. This review addresses echocardiographic evaluation of TOF, corrected TOF, its sequelae and various complications. A working knowledge of TOF assessment is essential for all adult cardiologists and sonographers.
