Abstract Objective: Myocardial fibrosis has been associated with poorer outcomes in tetralogy of Fallot, however only a handful of studies have assessed its significance in the current era. Our aim was to quantify
the amount of late gadolinium enhancement in both the LV and RV in a contemporary cohort of adults
with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot, and assess the relationship with adverse clinical outcomes.
Design: Single centre cohort study
Setting: National tertiary referral center
Patients: One hundred fourteen patients with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot with median
age 29.5 years (range 17.5-64.2). Prospective follow-up for mean 2.4 years (SD 1.29).
