Project description:BackgroundThe prognostic value of myocardial deformation parameters in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) has not been well-elucidated. We therefore aimed to explore myocardial deformation parameters for outcome prediction in adults with rTOF using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).MethodsAdults with rTOF and at least moderate pulmonary regurgitation were identified from an institutional prospective CMR registry. Left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) global strains were recorded in longitudinal (GLS), circumferential (GCS), and radial (GRS) directions. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as a composite of mortality, resuscitated sudden death, sustained ventricular tachycardia (>30 seconds), or heart failure (hospital admission >24 hours). In patients with pulmonary valve replacement (PVR), pre- and post-PVR CMR studies were analyzed to assess for predictors of complete RV reverse remodeling, defined as indexed RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDVi) <110 mL/m2. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) per unit change in absolute strain value associated with clinical outcomes and receiver operator characteristic curves were constructed with area under the curve (AUC) for select CMR variables.ResultsWe included 307 patients (age 35 ± 13 years, 59% (180/307) male). During 6.1 years (3.3-8.8) of follow-up, PVR was performed in 142 (46%) and MACE occurred in 31 (10%). On univariate analysis, baseline biventricular ejection fraction (EF), mass, and all strain parameters were associated with MACE. After adjustment for LVEF, only LV-GLS remained independently predictive of MACE (OR 0.822 [0.693-0.976] p = 0.025). Receiver operator curves identified an absolute LV-GLS value less than 15 and LVEF less than 51% as thresholds for MACE prediction (AUC 0.759 [0.655-0.840] and 0.720 [0.608-0.810]). After adjusting for baseline RVEDVi, RV-GCS (OR 1.323 [1.094-1.600] p = 0.004), LV-GCS (OR 1.276 [1.029-1.582] p = 0.027) and LV-GRS (OR 1.101 [1.0210-1.200], p = 0.028) were independent predictors of complete remodeling post-PVR remodeling.ConclusionBiventricular strain parameters predict clinical outcomes and post-PVR remodeling in rTOF. Further study will be necessary to establish the role of myocardial deformation parameters in clinical practice.

Project description:Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the most common cyanotic congenital heart defects (CHDs). The patterns of fetal myocardial deformations in TOF have not been well-studied. This study aimed to assess biventricular myocardial deformations in fetuses with TOF compared with normal fetuses. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of fetuses with TOF and gestational age (GA)-matched controls was conducted at a single tertiary referral center from 2014 to 2020. All enrolled fetuses underwent detailed echocardiography, and four-chamber video-clips were recorded and analyzed offline for deformation assessment by using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE). Comparisons for baseline characteristics, cardiac morphological measurements (ventricular, atrial, and great arterial diameters or ratios, global sphericity index), systolic function parameters [ejection fraction (EF), fractional area change (FAC)], and strain parameters [global longitudinal strain (GLS), global longitudinal strain rate in systole and diastole (GLSRs, GLSRd)] were performed between fetuses with TOF and GA-matched controls. Results: Fifty-two fetuses with TOF and 52 GA-matched controls were enrolled in this study. Fetuses with TOF exhibited similar left ventricular (LV) EF (58.51 ± 5.11% vs. 57.59 ± 5.38%, P = 0.16) and right ventricular (RV) FAC (43.64 ± 2.89% vs. 44.27 ± 3.04%, P = 0.25), compared to normal fetuses. While, in deformational analysis, TOF fetuses demonstrated significantly lower LV and RV GLS values (-22.57 ± 2.91% vs. -27.39 ± 4.38%, P < 0.001 for LV GLS; -24.27 ± 3.18% vs. -28.71 ± 4.48%, P < 0.001 for RV GLS). Both LV GLS (r = -0.518, P < 0.001) and RV GLS (r = -0.534, P < 0.001) were found negatively correlated with the aortic valve-to-pulmonary valve diameter ratio (AV:PV ratio). Z-scores of PV annulus and main pulmonary artery (MPA) also had positive correlation with LV and RV GLS, respectively. Conclusions: Decreased biventricular myocardial deformations can appear even in fetuses with TOF with normal systolic ventricular function. Both LV and RV GLS values are correlated with the severity of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. It indicates 2D-STE may be a more sensitive tool to assess fetal cardiac function than the conventional echocardiographic methods.

Project description:BackgroundLittle is known regarding the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) reoxygenation on cardiac function following tetralogy of Fallot repair. We hypothesized that hyperoxic reoxygenation would be more strongly associated with myocardial dysfunction in children with tetralogy of Fallot.MethodsWe investigated the association of perfusate oxygenation (PpO2) associated with myocardial dysfunction among children aged 6-72 months who underwent complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot in 2012-2018. Patients were divided into two groups: lower PpO2 group (≤ 250 mmHg) and higher PpO2 (> 250 mmHg) group based on the highest value of PpO2 during aortic occlusion. The odd ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by logistic regression models.ResultsThis study included 163 patients perfused with lower PpO2 and 213 with higher PpO2, with median age at surgery 23.3 (interquartile range [IQR] 12.5-39.4) months, 164 female (43.6%), and median body mass index 15.59 (IQR 14.3-16.9) kg/m2. After adjustment for baseline, clinical and procedural variables, patients with higher PpO2 were associated with higher risk of myocardial dysfunction than those with lower PpO2 (OR 1.770; 95% CI 1.040-3.012, P = 0.035). Higher PpO2, lower SpO2, lower pulmonary annular Z-score, and longer CPB time were independent risk factors for myocardial dysfunction.ConclusionsAssociation exists between higher PpO2 and myocardial dysfunction risk in patients with tetralogy of Fallot, highlighting the modulation of reoxygenation during aortic occlusion to reduce cardiovascular damage following tetralogy of Fallot repair.Trial registrationClinical Trials. gov number NCT03568357.

Project description:Thanks to advances in pediatric cardiology, most infants with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) now survive into adulthood. This relatively new population of adult patients may face long-term complications, including pulmonary regurgitation (PR), right ventricular (RV) tract obstruction, residual shunts, RV dysfunction, and arrythmias. They will often need to undergo pulmonary valve (PV) replacement and other invasive re-interventions. However, the optimal timing for these procedures is challenging, largely due to the complexity of evaluating RV volume and function. The options for the follow-up of these patients have rapidly evolved from an angiography-based approach to the surge of advanced imaging techniques, mainly echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and computer tomography (CT). In this review, we outline the indications, strengths and limitations of these modalities in the adult TOF population.

Project description:AimsTo identify the correlates of focal scar and diffuse fibrosis in patients with history of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair.Methods and resultsConsecutive patients with prior TOF repair underwent electrocardiogram, 24-h Holter, transthoracic echocardiography, exercise testing, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) including cine imaging to assess ventricular volumes and ejection fraction, T1 mapping to assess left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) diffuse fibrosis, and free-breathing late gadolinium-enhanced imaging to quantify scar area at high spatial resolution. Structural imaging data were related to clinical characteristics and functional imaging markers. Cine and T1 mapping results were compared with 40 age- and sex-matched controls. One hundred and three patients were enrolled (age 28 ± 15 years, 36% women), including 36 with prior pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). Compared with controls, TOF showed lower LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and RV ejection fraction (RVEF), and higher RV volume, RV wall thickness, and native T1 and extracellular volume values on both ventricles. In TOF, scar area related to LVEF and RVEF, while LV and RV native T1 related to RV dilatation. On multivariable analysis, scar area and LV native T1 were independent correlates of ventricular arrhythmia, while RVEF was not. Patients with history of PVR showed larger scars on RV outflow tract but shorter LV and RV native T1.ConclusionFocal scar and biventricular diffuse fibrosis can be characterized on CMR after TOF repair. Scar size relates to systolic dysfunction, and diffuse fibrosis to RV dilatation. Both independently relate to ventricular arrhythmias. The finding of shorter T1 after PVR suggests that diffuse fibrosis may reverse with therapy.

Project description:A newborn with a prenatal diagnosis of left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and tetralogy of Fallot with mild pulmonary stenosis underwent CDH repair on day 2 of life. Postoperatively, the infant was extubated to room air with oxygen saturations in the 90s. A routine echocardiogram demonstrated severely decreased left ventricular function and raised concern for an abnormal coronary artery origin, thus prompting cardiac catheterization, which revealed an anomalous single coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. The infant underwent coronary artery reimplantation. Recognition of coronary artery anomalies in a timely manner is imperative for safe repair.
