Genetic variants of HIF1α are associated with right ventricular fibrotic load in repaired tetralogy of Fallot patients: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study

Abstract Background Studies suggest that right ventricular (RV) fibrosis is associated with RV remodeling and long-term outcomes in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Pre-operative hypoxia may increase expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1-alpha (HIF1α) and promote transforming growth facto...
