Abstract Aims: Reliable evaluation of the severity and consequences of pulmonary regurgita‐
tion (PR) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is crucial to timely identify
the need for pulmonary valve intervention. We aimed to identify the accuracy of
echocardiographic parameters to differentiate between moderate and severe PR,
using phase contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) as gold standard.
Methods and results: In this cross‐sectional study, 45 TOF patients with both echo‐
cardiographic and CMR measurements of PR were enrolled. All quantitative and
semiquantitative echocardiographic measurements such as pressure half time (PHT),
Color flow jet width (CFJW), ratio CFJW/right ventricle… More >
