Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients frequently encounter
residual pulmonary regurgitation (PR) after repaired
surgery. To prevent irreversible heart failure, repaired
TOF (rTOF) patients have to undergo pulmonary valve
replacement (PVR) to relieve PR and its pathological
response to myocardium. This study aims to evaluate
radial and longitudinal myocardial velocities and septal
curvature for rTOF by phase-contrast MRI. Prior to
significant impaired left ventricular ejection fraction,
the quantified indices can provide satisfied information
to assess regional abnormal myocardial function and flat
curvature of septum in rTOF. Those indices might be
helpful for patient managements regarding the timing of
undergoing PVR surgery.
