This study aimed to determine RA functional reserve during exercise and to explore its associations with right ventricular (RV) functional reserve and liver stiffness in patients with repaired TOF.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n Forty\u2010seven subjects, including 22 patients, aged 17.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.8 years, with repaired TOF and 25 age\u2010matched controls, were studied. RA and RV systolic and diastolic functional reserve were assessed by speckle tracking and tissue Doppler echocardiography, respectively, at rest and during bicycle exercise. Exercise\u2010induced changes in RA reservoir strain (\u2206RA reservoir strain) and tricuspid systolic and diastolic annular velocities were determined. RA functional reserve index (RAFR) is calculated as \u2206RA reservoir strain x (1\u20131\/baseline RA reservoir strain). Hepatic shear wave velocity and tissue elasticity were assessed by two\u2010dimensional shear wave elastography.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n At rest, patients compared with controls had significantly lower RA strain and strain rates (all\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u00a0<\u00a00.05). Patients had significantly reduced RAFR index (8.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.4\u00a0vs. 11.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.8,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.044), RV systolic functional reserve (6.6\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.9\u00a0vs. 3.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.2,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u00a0<\u00a00.001), and RV diastolic functional reserve (8.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.7\u00a0vs. 5.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.3,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.002). Patients had higher hepatic shear wave velocity (1.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.2 m\/s vs. 1.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.2 m\/s,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.002) and hepatic E values (5.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.5\u00a0kPa vs. 4.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.0\u00a0kPa,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u00a0<\u00a00.001) than controls. Among patients, the hepatic E value correlated significantly with the RAFR index (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n = \u22120.36,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.03). Multivariate analysis further showed that RV diastolic reserve was the only independent correlate of the RAFR index (\n \u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n = \u22120.33,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.014).\n
