Despite normal LVEF, TOF children exhibit impaired left ventricular strain and strain rate after surgery. TAPSE, strain, and strain rate for the right ventricle worsen after surgical repair. STE-driven strain can be used to detect early ventricular dysfunction and the associated prognostic implications.
