Text: Relative to sex-specific controls, repaired tetralogy of Fallot in women had larger right ventricular end-systolic volumes (standard deviation scores : women, 4. 35 ; men, 3. 25 ; P = 0. 001), lower right ventricular ejection fraction (women, -2. 83 ; men, -2. 12 ; P = 0. 011), lower right ventricular muscle mass (women, 1. 58 ; men 2. 45 ; P = 0. 001), poorer peak oxygen uptake (women, -1. 65 ; men, -1. 14 ; P < 0. 001), higher VE/VCO2 (ventilation per unit of carbon dioxide production) slopes (women, 0. 88 ; men 0. 58 ; P = 0. 012), and reduced peak heart rate (women, -2. 16 ; men -1. 74 ; P = 0. 017).
