Statistical analysis of the shape of the heart

Short axis MRI of the heart of a young patient who suffers from chronic pulmonary regurgitations due to an initial repair of tetralogy of Fallot.

3D RV meshes of 18 young ToF patients. The meshes were rigidly registered to a representative patient of the dataset. Observe the extreme variability in shape.

Mean RV remodelling observed in our population when body surface area (BSA, in m²) increases. RV dimensions globally increase while valves dilate. Simultaneously, RV free wall becomes rounder and septum more concave.
