AbstractBackground: Right ventricular (RV) volume overload secondary to pulmonary regurgitation contributes to long-term morbidities in patients after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. We tested the hypothesis that plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels relate to RV volume overload, pulmonary regurgitation, and exercise capacity in adolescents after TOF repair. Methods: We assessed the RV function echocardiographically and plasma BNP levels in 32 postoperative TOF patients aged 14.7 ± 3.1 years and 20 age-matched controls. Eighteen patients further underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and 26 had exercise testing. Results: Compared with controls, patients had significantly higher BNP levels (p = 0.027), greater indexed RV end-diastolic dimension (p < 0.001), increased RV myocardial performance index (p = 0.005), and reduced tricuspid annular systolic velocity (p = 0.008). Multivariate analysis identified indexed RV end-diastolic dimension as the only significant determinant of plasma BNP levels (β = 0.69, p < 0.001). Plasma BNP levels correlated positively with indexed RV end-diastolic volume (r = 0.6, p = 0.009) and pulmonary regurgitant fraction (r = 0.54, p = 0.026), and negatively with exercise duration (r = - 0.45, p = 0.021), peak oxygen consumption (r = - 0.43, p = 0.03), and minute ventilation at maximal exercise (r = - 0.52, p = 0.006). Multivariate analysis demonstrated BNP levels (β = - 0.43, p = 0.034) and body mass index (β = - 0.40, p = 0.036) to be independent predictors of peak oxygen consumption. No relations were found between BNP levels and RV myocardial performance index, tricuspid annular velocities and RV ejection fraction. Conclusions: In adolescent patients after TOF repair, plasma BNP levels relate to RV volume overload, pulmonary regurgitation and exercise capacity. © 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
