Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| This is primarily an explorative study aiming to describe the anatomy of unpalliated DILV hearts of patients without Fontan palliation. With 4D MRI, the hearts will be grouped according to the angular relationship of the two lines connecting the atrioventricular and the ventriculo-arterial valves. This angle can be divided into three categories: 1) parallel (i.e. 0°), 2) perpendicular (i.e. 90°) or 3) an in-between variant. Accordingly, flow patterns, ranging from linear to turbulent will be measured and correlated to the anatomical variants. | — |
