Uitkomst lange tijd na operatie in verband met tetralogie van Fallot
An overview is given on congenital heart disease in general and on tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) more specifically. Etiology and birth prevalences will be discussed, as well as treatment options and long-term outcome in TOF patients with regard to ventricular function and clinical condition. Since the right ventricle (RV) is the most affected ventricle in patients after TOF repair, more detailed information is given on RV anatomy, physiology, and function. Imaging techniques to assess systolic and diastolic function, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), will be discussed. The use of biomarkers in patients with heart failure and after TOF repair is described. Finally, the aims and outline of this thesis will be presented.
