The aim of this study was to investigate the extent of diffuse myocardial fibrosis by measuring left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) extracellular volume fraction (ECV) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) and to explore its association with ventricular remodeling, hemodynamic load, and clinical parameters.
