Diastolic dysfunction, as determined by echocardiography-derived and catheter-based (RVEDP) measures, is prevalent in this TOF population. These measures are not associated with each other; therefore, echocardiographic parameters of diastolic function are not reflective of RVEDP. The development of noninvasive parameters that correlate with filling pressures is required.
