Severe pulmonary regurgitation in adolescents with tetralogy of Fallot leads to increased longitudinal strain

ConclusionsPediatric patients with TOF and a severe pulmonary regurgitation show an enhanced longitudinal strain when compared to patients with milder regurgitation or to control subjects. In addition, mean RV circumferential strain of the patients is significantly enhanced compared to healthy individuals.
