Left Ventricular Stiffness in Adolescents and Young Adults with Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot
Abstract Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair may influence LV stiffness. We hypothesized that LV stiffness is altered after TOF repair and related to myocardial calibrated integrated backscatter (cIB) and LV diastolic myocardial deformation. Seventy-seven TOF pati...
