Circulation derived from 4D flow MRI correlates with right ventricular dysfunction in patients with tetralogy of Fallot

Abstract We used 4D-flow MRI to investigate circulation, an area integral of vorticity, in the main pulmonary artery (MPA) as a new hemodynamic parameter for assessing patients with a repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). We evaluated the relationship between circulation, right ventricular (RV) functi...
