3D right ventricular strain and shape in volume overload: Comparative analysis of tetralogy of Fallot and atrial septal defect patients

ConclusionVolume overload alters RV shape to the same extent in ASD and TOF whereas it has differential effects on strain. In ASD patients the strain is relatively preserved whereas TOF patients had particularly impaired longitudinal strain. Such detailed analyses of strain and shape could help refine RV function assessment in particular in CHD patients.
