Overview
Annual follow-up is recommended in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot. Echocardiographic follow-up should be performed at qualified centers to evaluate for residual defects.
The(ACC/AHA) recommendations for evaluation and follow-up in the repaired patients of Tetralogy of Fallot [1](DONOT EDIT)
Class I |
"1. Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot should have at least annual follow-up with a cardiologist who has expertise in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD).(Level of Evidence: C) " |
"2. Patients with tetralogy of Fallot should have echocardiographic examinations and/or magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) performed by staff with expertise in ACHD.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
"3. Screening for heritable causes of their condition (e.g., 22q11 deletion) should be offered to all patients with tetralogy of Fallot.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
"4. Before pregnancy or if a genetic syndrome is identified, consultation with a geneticist should be arranged for patients with tetralogy of Fallot.(Level of Evidence: B) " |
"5. Patients with unrepaired or palliated forms of tetralogy should have a formal evaluation at an ACHD center regarding suitability for repair.(Level of Evidence: B) " |
Recommendations for Imaging:Class 1 |
"1. Comprehensive echocardiographic imaging should be performed in a regional ACHD center to evaluate the anatomy and hemodynamics in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.(Level of Evidence: B) " |

Recommendations for Arrhythmias: Pacemaker/Electrophysiology Testing
Class I |
"1. Annual surveillance with history, electrocardiogram (ECG), assessment of RV function, and periodic exercise testing is recommended for patients with pacemakers/automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillators.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
Class IIa |
"1. Periodic Holter monitoring can be beneficial as part of routine follow-up. The frequency should be individualized depending on the hemodynamics and clinical suspicion of arrhythmia.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
