Predicting Regurgitant Fraction in Pediatric Patients with Repaired Fallot Using Right Ventricular Strain
The study of strains, particularly RV strains in repaired TOF patients, is not new to the literature. However, to our knowledge, previous studies did not attempt to determine a cutoff of RV GLS in predicting severe PR and subsequent need for PVR, the findings of this study are limited by a small sample size, but they open new horizons in the diagnostics of repaired TOF patients.
