Background Congenital heart disease (ConHD) affects approximately 1% of all live births.
People with ConHD are living longer due to improved medical intervention and are at risk of …

The recommendations listed in this guideline are, whenever possible, evidence-based. An
initial extensive evidence review, which included literature derived from research involving …

Background The benefits of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) for pulmonary insufficiency
in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot are still incompletely understood, and optimal …

Objective We aimed to compare the cardiopulmonary fitness of children with congenital
heart diseases (CHD) with that of age-adjusted and gender-adjusted controls. We also …

Background Although QRS duration> 180 ms has prognostic value in adults with tetralogy of
Fallot (TOF), its sensitivity to predict mortality is low. Fragmented QRS complexes, a simple …

Aims The role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in predicting major adverse
cardiovascular events (MACE) in people with congenital heart disease (ConHD) is …

Patients with tetralogy of Fallot are at risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac
death. These abnormalities are associated with pulmonary regurgitation, right ventricular …

Background Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) have increased risk for mortality,
sudden cardiac death, and ventricular tachycardia (VT). The aim of this systematic review …

Patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) typically report having preserved subjective
