Asynchrony in Operated Tetralogy of Fallot

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The objective of this work is to estimate the correlation between the electrical activation of the VD measured by the CARTO electrophysiological mapping system and the mechanical activation of the VD measured by 3D echocardiography and 3D speckle-tracking. Our hypothesis is that there is a strong correlation between electrical activation and mechanical activation in patients with an operated Fallot tetralogy.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Fallot tetralogy is the most common cyanogenic congenital heart disease. Thanks to advances in surgery, most patients survive to adulthood but develop a failure of the function of the right ventricle and then of the left ventricle resulting in progressive heart failure and death of patients. Despite corrective surgeries in adulthood, including pulmonary valve surgery, heart failure remains a major problem. One of the mechanisms of this heart failure is the right intraventtricular asynchronism associated with the postoperative right branch block, which will secondaryly become complicated from an interventricular asynchronism for left intraventtricular, partly explaining the overall progressive failure of cardiac function. To date, there is no model for combining a combined analysis of electrical and mechanical activation in the same patients. Understanding these mechanisms would allow us to better understand the pathophysiology of heart failure in this population and to propose targeted therapies to prevent this asynchronism by adapting surgical techniques, or treating this asynchronism with electrical therapy such as bivascular resynchronization. Each patient in each group will perform, according to standard practice, an electrophysiological exploration with mapping of the heart using the CARTO system, a cardiac MRI and a 3-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. The follow-up of each patient takes place during a scheduled hospitalization as part of the care. Their participation in the study only lasts for the duration of the hospitalization.
