Differences in regional diastolic function between restrictive and normal physiology of right ventricle in adult patients late after tetralogy of Fallot repair.

CONCLUSIONS: Tissue Doppler imaging may show diastolic abnormalities in patients with RRP. Patients with RRVP demonstrated deterioration in IVS diastolic function when measured by SR A-waves. The diastolic function of RV free wall segments was better in patients with RRVP compared to patient without restriction of the right ventricle measured by SR.
