Correlation of ECG and cardiac MRI for assessment of ventricular hypertrophy and dilatation in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgically repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is associated with progressive right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and dilation (RVD). Accurate estimation of RVH/RVD is vital for the ongoing management of this patient population. The utility of the ECG in evaluating patients with rTOF with pre-existing right bundle branch block (RBBB) has not been studied. We aimed to determine the sensitivity/specificity of currently established ECG criteria in detecting RVH/RVD in this patient population.

Methods

We included consecutive patients diagnosed with rTOF who underwent CMR performed at our regional referral centre between January 2012 and December 2019. Each CMR was assessed for LVH, LVD, RVH and or RVD. The ECG corresponding to the CMR was then used to determine RVH/LV
