Tetralogy of Fallot in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Low- and middle-incomes countries (LMICs) have limited resources for the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart diseases such as tetralogy of Fallot. This is in part due to lack of infrastructures, financial means, and expertise. As a result, patients undergo surgery much later than in high-income countries. This delay in treatment results in right ventricular dysfunction, cardiac arrhythmias, and poor psychomotor development—complications that are all related to chronic hypoxia. There are limited data and a few small studies of patients treated for tetralogy of Fallot in LMICs, and, therefore, the aim of this review is to analyse and summarize the surgical outcomes of this LMIC population.
