Short-Term Change of Exercise Capacity in Patients with Pulmonary Valve Replacement after Tetralogy of Fallot Repair

Abstract: Background and ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) on exercise capacity and determine cardiopulmonary exercise (CPEX) parameters associated with improvement in right ventricle (RV) function.Subjects and MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed CPEX and magnetic resonance imaging parameters in a total of 245 patients who underwent PVR from January 1998 to October 2015. In addition, we analyzed the characteristics of the patients who showed improved exerci… Show more

“…Moreover, Roderick et al found that prolonged QRS duration prior to PVR is the main determinant of the poor long-term follow-up outcome of patients with ToF ( 32 ); however, our study did not find such a result. Some studies found that VO 2 peak (%), which assesses the degree of exercise tolerance, may be a useful predictor of adverse events after PVR ( 33 , 34 ). Although we were not able to obtain the results of the cardiopulmonary exercise experiment, we also concluded that patients with NYHA III/IV have a poor prognosis based on the NYHA classification, which correlates with the study conducted by Anna et al ( 35 ).…”

“…Maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) is a useful index for the assessment of exercise capacity, as it can powerfully predict outcomes of cardiac and pulmonary disorders. 2 3 4 5 6 7 VO 2 max can be directly measured by CPET. Exercise capacity indicated by VO 2 max can help in estimating cardiopulmonary risk, thus making the selection of normal reference value essential for interpretation.…”
