Overview
Echocardiography is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
Echocardiography is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot.[1]
Echocardiography must be performed in all neonates with <90% oxygen saturation after birth.
Diagnostic results
The following findings on performing echocardiography are confirmatory for tetralogy of fallot:

Diagnostic Recommendations for Tetralogy Of Fallot
| Class IIa |
| 1.Programmed ventricular stimulation can be useful to risk-stratify adults with TOF and additional risk factors for SCD.(Level of Evidence: B-NR) |
| 2. In patients with repaired TOF, cardiac catheterization with angiography, if indicated, is reasonable to assess hemodynamics when adequate data cannot be obtained noninvasively in the setting of an arrhythmia, HF, unexplained ventricular dysfunction, suspected pulmonary hypertension or cyanosis. (Level of Evidence: C-EO) |
