Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The mechanisms underlying adverse electro-mechanical interaction after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair remain unclear. This study investigated biventricular dyssynchrony in children with TOF and its relationship to exercise, QRS duration (QRSd) and ventricular mechanics. METHODS: 29 asymptomatic children (5-18 years) with repaired TOF were prospectively evaluated by MRI, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and echocardiography at rest and during bicycle exertion. Their dyssynchrony results were compared with those of 44 resting and 27 exercising, age- and sex-matched controls. An intraventricular dyssynchrony index was calculated from the SD of regional time intervals in 12 left ventricular (LV) 'Ts LV-12SD' and eight right ventricular (RV) 'Ts RV-8SD' segments. Ventricular size, volumes, ejection fractions, pulmonary regurgitant volumes and peak oxygen consumption and N-terminal BNP levels were quantified in the patients. RESULTS: Despite moderate RV dilatation (median indexed RV end-diastolic volume 145.2 ml/m(2)) and right bundle branch block (median QRSd 130 ms) compared with controls, children with TOF demonstrated neither RV nor LV dyssynchrony at rest (Ts RV-8SD, 37.9±10.2 vs 44.3±10.3, 95% CI -11.8 to -0.99, p=0.02; Ts LV-12SD, 38.6±16.8 vs 34.0±10.8, 95% CI -1.8 to 11.0, p=0.16). Exercise stress induced biventricular dyssynchrony in patients with TOF but not in controls (Ts RV-8SD, 59.9±34.4 vs 28.2±10.4, p<0.0001, 95% CI 17.2 to 46.3; Ts LV-12SD, 48.0±18.6 vs 31.9±10.7, 95% CI 7.9 to 24.4, p=0.002). This was unrelated to QRSd, ventricular volumes and function, or peak oxygen consumption. CONCLUSION: Exercise induces biventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in children with TOF.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
