چکیده

Background Regional myocardial scarring in adults following Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. This is the largest study to date assessing native T1 times as a marker for diffuse myocardial fibrosis in children after TOF repair. The aim of the study was to describe native T1 times patients post-TOF repair and to evaluate its relationship to clinical status and surgical factors.

Assessment of Diffuse Ventricular Myocardial Fibrosis Using Native T1 in Children With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot.

BACKGROUND Myocardial fibrosis is linked with adverse clinical outcomes in adults after tetralogy of Fallot repair (rTOF). Native T1 times (T1) by cardiac magnetic resonance have been shown to be a surrogate marker of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. The objective was to quantify native T1 in children post-rTOF and to evaluate their relationship with surgical, imaging, and clinical factors. METHO...

Increased left ventricular myocardial extracellular volume is associated with longer cardiopulmonary bypass times, biventricular enlargement and reduced exercise tolerance in children after repair of Tetralogy of Fallot

BACKGROUND Unfavorable left ventricular (LV) remodelling may be associated with adverse outcomes after Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. We sought to assess T1 cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) markers of diffuse LV myocardial fibrosis in children after TOF repair, and associated factors. METHODS In this prospective, cross-sectional study, native (=non-contrast) T1 times and extracellul...

Left ventricular extracellular volume measurements in repaired tetralogy of Fallot patients

Background Although cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is routinely used for evaluation of patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the role of extracellular volume (ECV) measurement, a marker of diffuse myocardial fibrosis, has not been studied extensively in this population. This study aimed to describe left ventricular (LV) ECV measurements in subjects with repaired TOF, and t...

Association between left ventricular mechanics and diffuse myocardial fibrosis in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: a cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have progressive, adverse biventricular remodeling, leading to abnormal contractile mechanics. Defining the mechanisms underlying this dysfunction, such as diffuse myocardial fibrosis, may provide insights into poor long-term outcomes. We hypothesized that left ventricular (LV) diffuse fibrosis is related to impaired LV mechanics. ME...

Left ventricular extracellular volume is associated with loss of exercise tolerance in children after Tetralogy of Fallot repair, but not with ventricular dysfunction

Methods In 25 patients (age 13.6±2.5 years, 14 male) after surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), T1 measurements were performed at a mid and basal ventricular level in short axis before and 15 minutes after the application of 0.1 mmol/kg gadobenate dimeglumine in the interventricular septum (IVS), left ventricular (LV) lateral wall, complete LV myocardium and diaphragmatic portion of th...
