Aim of my study is to detect echocardiographic, ECG and Holter changes in children who have undergone surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot. It is a retrospective observational study which will be conducted in Sohag university hospital. Age group of patients included in the study varying from 1 day up to 25 years old.
Aim of my study is to detect echocardiographic, ECG and Holter changes in children who have undergone surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot. This will be done by history taking of having chest pain , palpitations or any other cardiac symptoms then general and cardiac examination then performing 12-lead ECG and Holter ECG to detect any arrhythmias. Echocardiography will be also done to detect presence of pulmonary or tricuspid regurgitation, ventricular dilatation or pulmonary stenosis. The study is a retrospective observational study. Age group of patients varying from 1 day up to 25 years old.

Holter ECG is used for recording electrocardiogram for long duration varying from hours to days. Echocardiography is used for detecting anatomical and functional defects in the heart.
