Right atrial volume and body mass index in corrected tetralogy of Fallot correlate with the incidence of supraventricular arrhythmia - an MRI study

Patients with corrected Tetralogy of Fallot (cTOF) can develop supraventricular arrhythmias. So far, right atrial (RA) volume in TOF has not been evaluated in the context of arrhythmia. The aim of this study was to evaluate if right atrial (RA) volume in TOF correlates with the occurrence of supraventricular arrhythmias. To identify other risk factors for arrhythmias additional parameters were included in the analysis: anthropomorphic parameters (BMI, age, gender), previous shunt, high right ventricular (RV) volumes and pulmonary regurgitation (PR).
