Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a cyanotic congenital heart disease which, without corrective surgery, has a poor prognosis. These patients have an increased incidence of arrhythmias both supraventricular and ventricular post surgical correction. The supraventricular arrhythmias are usually related to the scar tissue at the surgical repair site. We present a case of a young male patient status post TOF repair who presented with a supraventricular tachycardia which was found to be unrelated to his surgical scar.
法洛四联症(TOF)是一种青紫型先天性心脏病,若不进行矫正手术,预后较差。这些患者在手术矫正后发生室上性和室性心律失常的发生率增加。室上性心律失常通常与手术修复部位的瘢痕组织有关。我们报告一例法洛四联症修复术后的年轻男性患者,该患者出现了室上性心动过速,发现其与手术瘢痕无关。
