Search for: [Abstract = "Tetralogy of Fallot \(ToF\) is the most common congenital cyanotic heart disease. Thanks to surgical correction, the survival rate of 20\-30 years is nearly 90%. Only a few previous studies have described long\-term observations of patients after ToF repair. The aim of the study was to describe and analyze long\-term follow\-up of patients after ToF correction. 143 consecutive adult patients with repaired ToF being in care of the Department of Congenital Defects Jana Pawła II and hospitalized in the Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases of the KSS John Paul II in Krakow, were included. The control group consisted of age\- and sex\-matched healthy volunteers. Patients were referred for electrocardiography, echocardiography, magnetic resonance, cardiopulmonary exercise test and SF\-36 quality of life questionnaire. In patients group peak oxygen uptake was markedly lower compared with control subject. Patients after the ToF correction had a lower heart rate. The left ventricular ejection fraction positively correlated with the right ventricular ejection fraction \(p = 0.03\) and negatively with the right ventricular chamber volumes \(p = 0.01\) and right ventricle mass \(p < 0.001\). Peak oxygen consumption positively correlated with physical health domains \(p < 0.001\). The right ventricle ejection fraction positively correlated with the influence of physical functioning on everyday life \("]
