PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Arrhythmias are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality following repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). This review will highlight current understanding of arrhythmia pathogenesis in this patient population and review novel therapeutic options. RECENT FINDINGS: Risk factors for developing ventricular arrhythmias in repaired TOF have thus far been better defined than for atrial arrhythmias. Growing understanding of the pathophysiology of arrhythmias, development of risk stratification models, and novel techniques such as electrophysiologic ultrahigh-density mapping should help to better identify patients that benefit from advanced therapies such as ablation and implantable cardioverter defibrillators. Atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are common in TOF patients. Methods of risk stratification and therapeutic approaches are rapidly evolving, leading to ever improving clinical outcomes in this patient population.
