We quantified the kinetic energy (KE) of intraventricular RV flow (KE_RV,flow), PA forward flow (KE_PA) and PA retrograde flow (KE_PA,regur). The purpose is to establish 4D flow-derived KE-related indices for better understanding of the RV-PA interaction. We observed the interaction between RV and PA by assessing the correlation between diastolic KE_PA,regur and late diastolic KE_RV,flow as well as between systolic KE_PA and RV mean pressure. In conclusion, we verified that altered hemodynamic conditions of RV interacted with severe PR, which may lead to RV overloading pathology and adverse outcome in rTOF patients.
