Non-invasive pressure-volume loops show high arterial elastance in children with repaired tetralogy of Fallot
Children with rToF had higher arterial elastance and heart rate than controls, likely due to increased sympathetic tone to compensate for impaired LV filling following pulmonary regurgitation. If this contributes to increased risk of adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events remains to be studied.
