Relationship between Pulmonary Regurgitation and Ventriculo–Arterial Interactions in Patients with Post-Early Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot: Insights from Wave-Intensity Analysis

Relationship between Pulmonary Regurgitation and Ventriculo–Arterial Interactions in Patients with Post-Early Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot: Insights from Wave-Intensity Analysis

This study aimed to investigate the effect of pulmonary regurgitation (PR) on left ventricular ventriculo–arterial (VA) coupling in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). It was hypothesised that increasing PR severity results in a smaller forward compression wave (FCW) peak in the aortic...
