PG - 5-15 LID - S1875-2136(14)00243-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.acvd.2014.07.054 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Evaluation of the right ventricle (RV) using transthoracic echocardiography is challenging in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). AIMS: To evaluate the accuracy of conventional echocardiographic variables and real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) in assessing right ventricular (RV) volumes and function compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in adult patients with rTOF and referred for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). METHODS: Complete echocardiography was performed on 26 consecutive patients referred for PVR, before and 1 year after surgery. All variables were compared with MRI. RESULTS: Correlations between conventional variables and MRI were absent or poor when assessing RV ejection fraction (RVEF), except for fractional area of change (FAC; r=0.70, P<0.01 before PVR; r=0.68, P<0.01 after PVR) and RT3DE (r=0.96, P<0.01 before PVR; r=0.98, P<0.01 after PVR). The RV volume correlation between RT3DE and MRI was excellent before and after surgery for RV end-diastolic volume (r=0.88, P<0.01 and r=0.91, P<0.01, respectively) and RV end-systolic volume (r=0.92, P<0.01 and r=0.95, P<0.01, respectively). The accuracy of these indices, as a diagnostic test for impaired RV (<45%), was good: Youden's indexes varied from 0.47 to 0.89; areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve before and after PVR were 0.86 and 0.81 for FAC and 0.98 and 0.97 for RT3DE, respectively. CONCLUSION: Commonly used echocardiography variables, such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity, did not sensitively evaluate global RVEF. A global approach, that includes the whole RV and integration of its different components, was more reliable in patients with rTOF. CI - Copyright (c) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
