Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Fallot tetralogy late after repair with marked pulmonary valve incompetence
Intervention(s)

Pharmaceutical Form: Intravenous infusion
INN or Proposed INN: Dobutamine
Concentration unit: µg/kg microgram(s)/kilogram
Concentration type: range
Concentration number: 10-20

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): - analysis with ANOVA for follow-up measurements with determinants of regular and stress MRI to compare group A with group B, (resp.) comparision both visits group A
Main Objective: The main objective of this trial is to define new cardial functional parameters of early right cardial insufficiency by pre- and postoperative characterisation of right heart function with a Dobutamine stress MRI compared to routine cardiac MRI

Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives of this trial are:
- to define new cardial functional parameters of early right cardial insufficiency by pre- and postoperative characterisation of right heart function with a Dobutamine stress echocardiogram. Correlation to routine cardiac MRI and a Dobutamine stress MRI.

- to define new cardial functional parameters of early right cardial insufficiency by pre- and postoperative characterisation of right heart function with a tissue Doppler echocardiogram and three-dimensional echocardiography. Correlation to routine cardiac MRI and a Dobutamine stress MRI.

- to evaluate mortality, morbidity, pulmonary function, objective exercise tolerance, life-quality and prevalence of cardiac arrhythmia after pulmonary valve replacement
