Late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance in repaired tetralogy of Fallot: characterization of the right ventricular arrhythmogenic substrate
Abstract:Introduction
Ventricular arrhythmias are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with repaired tetralogy of fallot (rTF). These life-threatening arrhythmias are related to specific isthmuses of viable tissue between areas of scar and/or valve rings of the right ventricle (RV) that have been already described in the literature. Late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) has proven useful in characterizing the arrhythmogenic substrate in several heart di… 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.
