Abstract:
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common heart disease in children, which does great harm to children's health. Tetralogy of Fallot(TOF) is the primary form of cyanosis CHD, with the incidence rate of 10% ～ 15% in CHD. Tissue Doppler lmaging(TDI) ,a new type of Doppler echocardiography, is a noninvasive and a promising method in determination of right and left ventricle constriction and dilatation function quantificationally, which will improve the development of acquainting with heart disease and guid the clinical treatment of CHD. This review is to summarize the status quo of TDI in congenital heart disease especially in TOF.
