Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that right ventricular (RV) fibrosis is associated with RV remodeling and long-term outcomes in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Pre-operative hypoxia may increase expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1-alpha (HIF1α) and promote transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1)-mediated fibrosis. We hypothesized that there would be associations between: (1) RV fibrosis and RV function,...
