Heart RhythmVol. 6Issue 7p1069–1074Published online: March 2, 2009- Paul Khairy

Cited in Scopus: 35Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form of cyanotic heart disease, accounting for approximately 10% of congenital heart defects. Corrective surgery involves atrial and/or ventricular incisions and patches that, when combined with altered hemodynamics, predispose to the late onset of arrhythmias.1,2 In a multicenter cohort followed up for 35 years after corrective surgery, sustained atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias occurred in 10% and 12% of patients, respectively.1 Macroreentrant right atrial tachycardia is the most common atrial arrhythmia.
