          Abstract

          Long-term sequelae such as right ventricular dysfunction and reduced hemodynamic reserve are the main determinants of cardiovascular outcomes after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Echocardiographic parameters at rest offer only partial information on impaired hemodynamics in these patients, and data during stress testing are lacking. The leg-positive pressure (LPP) maneuver has recently been reported to be able to apply acute preload stress. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that preload reserve is impaired and ventricular interaction is exacerbated in patients with TOF.
