Left Ventricular Stiffness in Adolescents and Young Adults with Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot

Abstract Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair may influence LV stiffness. We hypothesized that LV stiffness is altered after TOF repair and related to myocardial calibrated integrated backscatter (cIB) and LV diastolic myocardial deformation. Seventy-seven TOF pati...

We hypothesized that LV stiffness is altered after TOF repair and related to myocardial calibrated integrated backscatter (cIB) and LV diastolic myocardial deformation. Seventy-seven TOF patients and 80 controls were studied. LV stiffness was assessed by diastolic wall strain (DWS) as defined by (LVPWsystole-LVPWdiastole)/LVPWsystole, where LVPW is LV posterior wall thickness, and stiffness index as defined by (E/e/LV end-diastolic dimension), where E and e are respectively early diastolic transmitral inflow and mitral annular velocities.

LV DWS correlated negatively with LV stiffness index (r = −0.31, p < 0.001), septal cIB (r = −0.21, p = 0.01), E/e ratio (r = −0.30, p < 0.001) and RV end-diastolic area (r = −0.31, p < 0.001), and positively with LV early (r = 0.33, p < 0.001) and late (r = 0.20, p = 0.01) diastolic strain rates and RV fractional area change (FAC) (r = 0.24, p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis revealed E/e (β = −0.26, p = 0.008), RV end-diastolic area (β = −0.20, p = 0.02), and RV FAC (β = 0.18, p = 0.01) as significant correlates of DWS.
