Ventricular Myocardial Deformation in Fetuses With Tetralogy of Fallot: A Necessary Field of Investigation

Ventricular Myocardial Deformation in Fetuses With Tetralogy of Fallot: A Necessary Field of Investigation

Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the most common cyanotic congenital heart defects (CHDs). The patterns of fetal myocardial deformations in TOF have not been well-studied. This study aimed to assess biventricular myocardial deformations in fetuses with TOF compared with normal fetuses...
