The aortic root in repaired tetralogy of Fallot: Serial measurements and impact of losartan treatment

O. I. Woudstra, A. Ghanam, H. W. Vliegen, A. P. J. van Dijk, J. P. van Melle, M. Groenink, F. J. Meijboom, M. C. Post, B. J. M. Mulder, B. J. Bouma, J. P. Bokma

Summary: Aortic root dilatation is common in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, with about one-third of patients affected. Larger left ventricular stroke volume is associated with both baseline aortic root size and ongoing growth. The study found no significant treatment effect of losartan.

Magnetic resonance imaging assessment of aortic dilatation and distensibility in 269 patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot

Suvipaporn Siripornpitak, Apichaya Sriprachyakul, Saruntorn Wongmetta, Piya Samankatiwat, Pirapat Mokarapong, Suthep Wanitkun

Summary: This study aimed to assess aortic dimensions, investigate the prevalence of aortic root dilatation (AoD), and identify predictors of AoD in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). The study found that severe AoD was prevalent after rTOF repair, but no fatal complications were observed. Routine monitoring of AoD is recommended.

Improved Outcomes After Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot

Jouke P. Bokma, Tal Geva, Lynn A. Sleeper, Ji Hae Lee, Minmin Lu, Tehila Sompolinsky, Sonya V. Babu-Narayan, Rachel M. Wald, Barbara J. M. Mulder, Anne Marie Valente

Summary: The study aimed to determine whether pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is associated with improved survival and freedom from sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). The results showed that patients who received PVR had a lower risk of death or sustained VT compared to those who did not receive PVR.

Proximal Aortic Dilatation and Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Patients with Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: Is There a Relationship? A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Ahmed Farghal A. Mohammed, Michael Frick, Gunter Kerst, Nima Hatam, Mohamed-Adel F. Elgamal, Karam M. Essa, Hedwig H. Hoevels-Guerich, Jaime F. Vazquez-Jimenez, Rashad Zayat

Summary: The study revealed a high prevalence of proximal aortic dilatation after TOF repair, with factors such as late corrective surgery, palliative shunt, and aortic valve regurgitation being associated with the dilatation. Pulmonary valve replacement and higher AR fraction were identified as independent predictors of AAo dilatation.

Prevalence and determinants of tricuspid regurgitation after repair of tetralogy of Fallot

Sophie Offen, Raj Puranik, David Baker, Rachael Cordina, Richard Chard, David S. Celermajer

Summary: The prevalence and determinants of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) remain incompletely understood. This study found that despite substantial right ventricular (RV) dilatation in rTOF patients, the prevalence of TR is surprisingly low and has weak correlation with factors such as right atrial volumes and tricuspid annular diameter. These findings question the commonly held notions regarding the pathophysiology of functional TR in these patients.

Right ventricular dilatation score: a new assessment to right ventricular dilatation in adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot

Ziqin Zhou, Ying Huang, Linjiang Han, Yong Zhang, Junfei Zhao, Shusheng Wen, Jimei Chen

Summary: Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) and moderate to severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) can be screened for severity of RV dilatation using echocardiographic data, which is associated with preoperative cardiac function and short-term prognosis after pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). RV dilatation score > 2.35 indicates the need for further CMR examination and treatment.

The Surgical Strategy for Progressive Dilatation of Aortic Root and Aortic Regurgitation After Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Case Report

Shuaipeng Zhang, Haiyuan Liu, Xiangyu Wang, Shaojun Huang, Chengxin Zhang

Summary: Progressive dilatation of the aortic root is not uncommon in adult patients with repaired TOF, which can lead to severe aortic regurgitation or fatal dissection. Therefore, surgical treatment for both regurgitated aortic valve and dilated root is necessary based on preoperative assessments and individual treatment strategies.

Impact of Right Ventricular Pressure Load After Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot

Heiner Latus, Jana Stammermann, Inga Voges, Birgit Waschulzik, Matthias Gutberlet, Gerhard-Paul Diller, Dietmar Schranz, Peter Ewert, Philipp Beerbaum, Titus Kuhne, Samir Sarikouch

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic impact and prognostic relevance of right ventricular pressure load in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot. The results showed that higher right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) gradients were associated with smaller right ventricular volumes and less pulmonary regurgitation, but lower biventricular longitudinal strain and increased risk of adverse events. Mild residual pressure gradients did not protect from pulmonary valve replacement.

Four-dimensional flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance in tetralogy of Fallot: a systematic review

Ayah Elsayed, Kathleen Gilbert, Miriam Scadeng, Brett R. Cowan, Kuberan Pushparajah, Alistair A. Young

Summary: 4D flow CMR shows potential in assessing rTOF, particularly in retrospective valve tracking for flow evaluation, velocity profiling, intra-cardiac kinetic energy quantification, and vortex visualization. Protocols should be targeted to pathology. Prospective, randomized, multi-centered studies are required to validate these new characteristics and establish their clinical use.

Summary: Thyroid cancer burden in the future is significantly influenced by overweight and obesity, with obesity having a more pronounced effect, particularly in men. If current obese individuals were to lose weight, nearly 10% of thyroid cancer cases could be avoided, and factors such as alcohol consumption and marital status are also associated with the burden.

Summary: Exercise is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, with increased HDL-C levels playing a key role. Controlled studies show that moderate intensity exercise improves HDL function, lipid/lipoprotein profile, fitness, and body composition. A sequential moderate followed by high-intensity exercise program yields sustained or incremental benefits in these parameters.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effects of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in the prehospital setting on clinical outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The systematic review and meta-analysis found that there is currently no definitive conclusion on the efficacy of prehospital ECPR in refractory cardiac arrest and higher quality evidence is required to support it.

Summary: This study evaluated the associations between macronutrient intake and all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. It found that a high-calorie diet consisting of moderately high protein, moderate fat, and moderate carbohydrate levels was associated with the highest mortality risk. Lower mortality risk was observed in two separate regions consisting of higher protein, higher carbohydrate, and lower fat levels or lower protein, moderate carbohydrate, and higher fat levels. These findings highlight the complex nonlinear and interactive association between macronutrients and all-cause mortality.
