Tetralogy of Fallot: Impact of the Excursion of the Interventricular Septum on Left Ventricular Systolic Function and Fibrosis after Surgical Repair

Abstract

Abnormal IVS excursion after repair of TOF is associated with reduced global and septal LV systolic function and LV fibrosis at the RV-LV hinge points, suggesting a mechanism of adverse interventricular interaction.
