Excerpt

After surgical correction of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), residual pulmonary regurgitation (PR), right ventricular (RV) dilatation and RV failure have been associated with adverse clinical events and are considered criteria for pulmonary valve replacement. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the gold-standard for evaluation of these parameters. However it is an expensive technique which is not readily available in all hospitals and outpatient clinics. NT-proBNP is a biomarker which may overcome these CMR limitations and might be used as a cost-effective biomarker for monitoring patients with TF. …
