چکیده

Background Left atrium enlargement is directly proportional to the severity of underlying clinical (or subclinical) cardiovascular disease. Right atrium (RA) measurements are not routinely performed despite their prognostic value has been demonstrated in chronic heart failure, atrial and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The aim of the study was to evaluate RA dimensions and volumes by cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) in a large cohort of operated Fallot (opTF) compared to a control group, and correlate the RA size to traditional prognostic parameters and clinical events.

Distribution and anomalies of coronary arteries in tetralogy of fallot.

The surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot (TF) may be complicated by anomalies in the course and distribution of coronary arteries. Selective coronary angiography was performed in 119 cases of TF in order to prevent injury of aberrant vessels. In 11 patients, anomalies in the origin of coronary branches were revealed (five patients with a single coronary ostium, five with the anterior desc...
