- Patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) may undergo pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) after initial full repair. We investigated indices of biventricular function, work and efficiency of TOF patients' using noninvasive pressure-volume (PV) loop analysis on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images and compared pre-and post PVR groups. Biventricular segmentations of steady state free precession CMR images were performed using custom validated software (Segment version 2.0 R7067). Brachial cuff pressure estimated left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure. Right ventricular (RV) inputs were obtained from pre-PVR cardiac catheterization data. Biventricular PV loops were then derived using a time-varying elastance model. Twenty seven patients were studied: (22 pre-PVR, 5 post-PVR), mean age of 20±10.5 years and 83% male. RV stroke volume significantly differed before and after PVR (73.2±25 ml vs. 41±10 mL, P=0.01). RV stroke work (SW) and mean external power (MEP) were significantly less post-PVR, but there were no significant differences in the LV hemodynamic indices. TOF patients have reduced RV SW and MEP post-PVR suggesting improved hemodynamics. Noninvasive biventricular PV loop analysis shows potential for integration into standard CMR imaging of TOF and provides hemodynamic data that could influence management decisions.

- Experimental data on pulmonary regurgitation has linked right ventricular longitudinal function to left ventricular filling pressure in animals with induced and treated pulmonary regurgitation but this relationship has not been investigated in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rToF). The aim of this study was to determine if right ventricular longitudinal function assessed using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is associated with left ventricular filling pressure in patients with rToF. A second objective of this study was to determine if direction of septal movement is related to right ventricular pressure load in rToF. Eighteen patients with rToF undergoing CMR and heart catheterization prior to pulmonary valve replacement were retrospectively included and catheter-based pressure measurements were compared with CMR-derived RV regional function. Left ventricular filling pressure was measured as precapillary wedge pressure (PCWP). Longitudinal contribution to RV stroke volume correlated with PCWP (r = 0.48; p = 0.046) but not with RV EF or pulmonary regurgitation. Neither RV longitudinal strain nor TAPSE showed correlation with PCWP. Longitudinal contribution to stroke volume was lower for the RV compared to the LV (49 vs 54%; p = 0.039). Direction of septal movement did not show a correlation with RV end-systolic pressure. Right ventricular longitudinal pumping is associated with left ventricular filling pressure in rToF-patients and this inter-ventricular coupling may explain LV underfilling in patients with pulmonary regurgitation and rToF and may be of value to determine right ventricular dysfunction. RV systolic pressure, however, cannot be assessed from the direction of septal movement, in these patients.
