Abstract
At mid to long term follow-up overall NT-proBNP levels are normal and biventricular functional reserve and exercise tolerance are well preserved in TOF repaired at young age, irrespective of RV volume. This questions the validity of isolated PR or RV volume criteria for pulmonary valve replacement in this group. Low-dose dobutamine stress testing is well tolerated and may be a useful additional tool for clinical decision making.
