Abstract 14051: QRS Duration After Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Adults With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: Prediction of Ventricular Arrhythmias and Correlation With Right Ventricular Size
Abstract:Background:
Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) patients face complications such as heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias (VA) after early repair which may be mitigated by pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). Prior studies have shown significant decreases in QRS duration and right ventricular (RV) size following PVR. We aimed to determine whether QRS duration reduction independently identifies patients at lower risk of VA and/or correlates with a decrease of RV size on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (C… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
