Computational modelling of the right ventricle in repaired tetralogy of Fallot: can it provide insight into patient treatment?

Abstract

In this study, we related RV shape at end-diastole to clinical metrics of PR in rToF patients. By considering the entire 3D shape, we identified a link between PR and RV dilatation, outflow tract bulging, and apical dilatation. Our study constitutes a first attempt to correlate 3D RV shape with clinical metrics in rToF, opening new ways to better quantify 3D RV change in rToF.
