Background:Our study focusses on echocardiographic assessment of the right ventricular diastolic function and adaptive right ventricular response to volume overload resulting from pulmonary and tricuspid regurgitation in surgically treated patients with tetralogy of Fallot.Method and results:We included 60 patients subsequent to surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot, dividing them into two groups – a group of 18 patients with restrictive physiology, having antegrade flow to the pulmonary arteries greater than 30 centimetres per second in late diastole in five consecutive beats, and a group of 42 patients with non-restrictive physiology. Based on the cardiothoracic ratio, being more or equal to, or less than 0.55, we further divided those with restrictive physiology into a group of 14 patients deemed to have primary restriction, and the other 4 patients considered to have secondary or acquired restriction. Those with non-restrictive physiology were divided into groups of 16 patients with a small heart, and 26 patients with a large heart. A fraction of the venous retrograde diastolic flow in the hepatic vein greater or equal to 30 centimetres is important for distinguishing between the subgroup with primary restriction and the other subgroups. In the four patients with secondary restriction, anterograde diastolic flow in the pulmonary artery greater than 30 centimetres per second was recorded after the average period of follow-up of 2.4 years. The mean value of the pulmonary regurgitant jet pressure half-time was higher in the subgroup with the secondary restriction in comparison to the nonrestrictive subgroup with large hearts at 152 milliseconds with standard deviation of 36 milliseconds versus 85 milliseconds with standard deviation of 11 milliseconds, p less than 0.05. This was significantly lower in comparison to those with primary restriction, where the value was 238 milliseconds, with standard deviation of 42 milliseconds, p less than 0.02.Conclusion:Echocardiographic analysis offers great possibilities for assessment of right ventricular diastolic function, identifying in particular those with restrictive physiology, its interrelation with pulmonary and tricuspid regurgitation, as well as timing and selection of patients for re-intervention.

AbstractExamined was the effect of surgical technique, particularly the insertion of a transannular patch, on right ventricular diastolic function, and the relationship of forward flow in the pulmonary arteries during late diastole to right ventricular diastolic function in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. Transtricuspid, superior caval venous and pulmonary arterial Doppler spectrals were obtained and compared between 44 patients who had been repaired with a transannular patch; 14 patients who had been repaired with muscular resection and/or pulmonary valvotomy; six who had been repaired with an infundubular patch; and 32 normal children. The velocities of forward flow during late diastole in the pulmonary arteries of normal children ranged from 19.8 to 29.4 cm s−1(mean 24.9 ± 2.8 cm s−1) throughout the respiratory cycle. Restrictive right ventricular physiology, defined on the basis of increased forward flow in the pulmonary arteries during late diastole (> 30 cm s−1) was present in 25 (57°) of 44 patients with tetralogy of Fallot repaired using a transannular patch. Right ventricular volume was 50.1 ± 23.7 cm3in patients with a restrictive right ventricle and 64.9 ± 21.4 cm3in patients in whom the ventricle was non-restrictive (p< 0.03). QRS duration was 140 ± 18 and 156 ± 24 ms in patients with restrictive and non-restrictive right ventricular physiology respectively (p< 0.003). Restrictive physiology was not encountered in patients with tetralogy in whom the pulmonary valve had been preserved. It is concluded that right ventricular restriction is present in many patients with tetralogy of Fallot at mid-term follow-up subsequent to repair using a ‘transannular’ patch. Restriction is associated with smaller right ventricular size and less prolongation of the QRS complex.
