There are several factors influencing post-operative mortality in Tetralogy of Fallot, such as degree of RV outflow tract obstruction, combined anomaly, and age of the patient. Another factor is preoperative left ventricular volume reported by Kirklin and Graham in 1978. From March to September, 1984, 10 patient with Tetralogy of Fallot have been taken biplane cinecardioangiography [LAO and RAO projection] for measuring left ventricular volume by area-length method. The mean age of the patients was 84.9 [S.D.] and 3 males and 7 females were there. Mean value of left ventricle was 62.9ml/m2, which was no statistically difference from normal value. [p value=0.08]. In conclusion, though this study suggests that there is some decrease of left ventricular end-diastolic volume in Tetralogy of Fallot preoperatively as compared with normal individuals, further evaluation is needed to make it confirmatory with more number of patients and lesser range of age of the patients submitted to the study.
