Ventricular Arrhythmia Risk Prediction in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot using Personalized Computational Cardiac Models

Adults with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) are at increased risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT) due to fibrotic remodeling of the myocardium. However, the current clinical guidelines for VT risk stratification and subsequent ICD deployment for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in rTOF remain inadequate.
