Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) constitutes almost 10% of congenital heart diseases and is also one of the most common forms of cyanotic heart diseases. Cardiac function is of increasing importance for patients with TOF because life expectancy has been prolonged. The systolic and diastolic functions in both ventricles may be altered in children with TOF. Although tetralogy of Fallot is predominately affecting the right ventricle, Researches had also implicated the influence of such RV dysfunction on the development of secondary left ventricular dysfunction. Our research relies on use of recent advances in echocardiogyaphy for evaluation of such dysfunction.
