Abstract
Treadmill exercise test and cold water face-immersion test were performed in 50 patients with tetralogy of Fallot at a mean age of 11.9 years, an average of 8.2 years after intracardiac repair. Cardiac catheterization was also performed in 45 patients 0.5-11 years after the repair. Exercise performance and results of catheterization were compared in patients with and without ventricular premature contraction (VPC). In 22 (44) of the 50 patients, VPC was induced by treadmill and/or cold water face-immersion test. Compared with the other 28 patients, the patients who had VPC during the tests, 1) were older (13.6 versus 10.6 years, p<0.05, t-test) and were tested at a longer interval after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (9.5 versus 7.3 years, p<0.05), 2) showed no difference in the results of catheterization, and 3) had lower exercise performance. Cold water face-immersion test is therefore considered to be useful for evaluation of patients after intracardiac repair of tetralogy of Fallot. Verf.-Ref.
