Electrocardiogram
- The EKG often shows right axis deviation and right ventricular hypertrophy in tetralogy of Fallot. Wider QRS correlates with worse right ventricle dysfunction.
- Right atrial enlargement may be present.
- Right bundle branch block is present in 95% of patients with tetrology of fellot, particularly following surgical repair.
2008 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Adults With Congenital Heart Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[1]
Arrhythmias: Pacemaker/Electrophysiology Testing (DO NOT EDIT)[1]
| 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) " |
| Class IIb |
| "1. Electrophysiology testing in an ACHD center may be reasonable to define suspected arrhythmias in adults with tetralogy of Fallot. (Level of Evidence: C) " |
