ABSTRACT
Postoperative tetralogy of Fallot patients, since the first corrective surgical correction in the 1960s, have borne a burden of postoperation arrhythmias and sudden death. This is confirmed to be secondary to supraventricular arrhythmias and predominantly ventricular arrhythmias. It is rare to have both types of arrhythmias in the same patient, which the index case developed. Attempts to stratify patients in groups to predict which patients are susceptible to sudden death and arrhythmias have not been unanimous, despite multiple retrospective and prospective analysis of this group of patients.
RESUMEN
Los pacientes de tetralogía de Fallot postoperatoria, desde la primera corrección quirúrgica en los años sesenta, ha soportado una pesada carga de arritmias postoperatorias y muerte súbita. Esto se confirma como secundario a las arritmias supraventriculares y las arritmias predominantemente ventriculares. Es raro encontrar ambos tipos de arritmias en el mismo paciente, como ocurrió en el caso del paciente índice. Los esfuerzos por estratificar a los pacientes en grupos para predecir qué pacientes son susceptibles a la muerte súbita y las arritmias no han sido unánimes, a pesar de los múltiples análisis prospectivos y retrospectivos de este grupo de pacientes.
