Left atrium phasic function decreases in adult patients with repaired tetralogy of fallot: a case–control study

Abstract Background Although the left atrium (LA) plays a key role in diastolic function, LA dysfunction in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) remains unclear. Recently, LA strains assessed using a speckle tracking system have been used as novel sensitive indicators of LA function. Th...
