Left Atrial Strain in the Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot Population: Comparisons to Biventricular Function, Native T1 Values, Exercise Parameters and Healthy Controls

ConclusionsLA function is altered in adolescent and young adult patients with rTOF indicating worse diastolic function and relates to increasing native LV T1 values. Future studies are indicated to investigate the progression of adverse atrial-ventricular interactions and poor outcomes in this population.
