Noninvasive Assessment of Right Ventricular‐Pulmonary Arterial Coupling in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Worse RVPAc in adult versus pediatric patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot may signify progressive RV-PA uncoupling with age- or era-related effects. However, the clinical use of volumetric RVPAc in repaired tetralogy of Fallot appears limited, as it does not provide additional information over RVEF and is not associated with exercise capacity.
