The right ventricular (RV) longitudinal ejection fraction (LEF), radial ejection fraction (REF) and anteroposterior ejection fraction (AEF), and their relative contribution to global right ventricular function (RVEF) (LEF/RVEF, REF/RVEF and AEF/RVEF, respectively) in the two study groups. rToF patients demonstrated impaired LEF, REF and AEF comparing with controls. However, in rToF the relative contribution of LEF to RVEF was significantly decreased, whereas the contribution of REF and AEF to RVEF was similar to controls. * p < 0.0001
