Abstract
Right ventricular (RV) fibrosis is common in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). Although accumulating evidence indicates the role of circulating biomarkers of collagen metabolism in left ventricular fibrosis, rTOF data are lacking. This study examined the expression profile and clinical relevance of circulating biomarkers of collagen type I metabolism in rTOF patients.
