Abstract
End-diastolic forward flow in the main pulmonary artery is associated with larger RV dimensions in pediatric patients with postoperative tetralogy of Fallot. The presence of end-diastolic forward flow was not associated with other differences in RV diastolic parameters but with more pronounced pulmonary venous reversals and larger left atrial size. This indicates that ventricular diastolic interaction affects LV filling pressures.
