A Noninvasive Circulating Signature of Combined Right Ventricular Pressure and Volume Overload in Tetralogy of Fallot/Pulmonary Atresia/Major Aortopulmonary Collateral Arteries.

ABSTRACT: Background: Despite surgical advances, children with tetralogy of Fallot/pulmonary atresia/major aortopulmonary collaterals (TOF/PA/MAPCAs) are subject to chronic right ventricular (RV) pressure and volume overload. Current diagnostic tools do not identify adverse myocardial remodeling and cannot predict progression to RV failure. We sought to identify a noninvasive, circulating signature of the systemic response to right heart stress to follow disease progression. Methods: Longitudinal data were collected from patients with TOF/PA/MAPCAs (N = 5) at the time of (1) early RV pressure overload and (2) late RV pressure and volume overload. Plasma protein and microRNA expression were evaluated using high-throughput data-independent mass spectroscopy and Agilent miR Microarray, re
