Pathophysiologic Mechanism for Arrhythmias and Impaired Aerobic Capacity in Tetralogy of Fallot

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to explain the functional change mechanism linking right atrial (RA) hypertension, right heart (RH) remodeling and onset of symptoms such as arrhythmias and impaired aerobic capacity, since symptomatic status is a risk factor for mortality in the Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) population.
