This is the first study to assess right ventricular myocardial performance using the systolic-to-diastolic duration ratio derived from 2D strain. Seventy-six children with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot were evaluated. Echocardiographic data were correlated with cardiac magnetic resonance and peak oxygen consumption during exercise. The results show the right ventricular myocardial systolic-to-diastolic duration ratio incorporates systolic and diastolic performance, electromechanical dyssynchrony, and postsystolic shortening and is associated with exercise capacity in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot.
