Abstract
Background Up to 25% of children with congenital heart disease are obese, which may have negative physiologic consequences for patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). Methods Patients with rTOF who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and cardiopulmonary exercise testing from 2007 to 2018 were reviewed. Complex rTOF patients were excluded. Obese patients (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 95th percentile) were compared with...
