Abstract
In the long-term follow-up of patients after repair of tetralogy of Fa llot, monitoring right ventricular function is mandatory. The echocard iographic subtraction method proposed by Tomita seems to be easily app licable to a pediatric age population and accurate enough to be includ ed in the longitudinal surveillance of such a group of patients.
