摘要: A varying degree of impairment ventricular performance is observed over the long-term after surgery for a congenital heart defect (CHD). Impaired has been shown to be prognostic value increased risk cardiovascular events in adult CHD patients. This emphasizes importance delineating timing and cause this postoperative impairment. Impairment could develop time as consequence residua, sequelae complications or surgical procedure. Yet, impaired also immediately can persist and/or worsen time. focus review. article provides an overview echocardiographic techniques currently used assess performance. Furthermore, we review current literature describing performance, assessed using echocardiography, correction CHD. In general, decrease directly CHD’s. Subsequent follow-up characterized by recovery. consistent observation persistent right-ventricular repair several different subgroups patients ranging from septal Tetralogy Fallot.
