Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular fibrotic remodeling has been identified pre- and postoperatively in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) and linked to adverse outcomes. Polymorphisms of hypoxia inducible factor-1-alpha (HIF1A) have been associated with the fibrotic burden by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement imaging. Their association with diffuse fibrotic myocardial remodeling is...
