摘要
Tetralogy of fallot (TOF) occurs in approximately 1 in 5000 live births and accounts for 12% - 14% of congenital heart disease. Surgical repair was first introduced in the 1950s and there is now a large population of adults with repaired TOF. Some of them may suffer from significant pulmonary regurgitation (PR), progressive right ventricle (RV) dilation, RV dysfunction and restrictive right ventricular physiology(RRVP).
