  • Description: Intracardiac hemodynamic forces have been proposed to influence remodeling and be a marker of ventricular dysfunction. We aimed to quantify the hemodynamic forces in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) to further understand the pathophysiological mechanisms as this could be a potential marker for pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in these patients. Patients with rToF and pulmonary regurgitation (PR) > 20% ( n = 18) and healthy control subjects ( n = 15) underwent MRI, including four-dimensional flow. A subset of patients ( n = 8) underwent PVR and MRI after surgery. Time-resolved hemodynamic forces were quantified using 4D-flow data and indexed to ventricular volume. Patients had higher systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) hemodynamic forces compared with control subjects in the lateral-septal/LV outflow tract ( P = 0.011 and P = 0.0031) and inferior-anterior ( P < 0.0001 and P < 0.0001) directions, which are forces not aligned with blood flow. Forces did not change after PVR. Patients had higher RV diastolic forces compared with control subjects in the diaphragm-right ventricular (RV) outflow tract (RVOT; P < 0.001) and apical-basal ( P = 0.0017) directions. After PVR, RV systolic forces in the diaphragm-RVOT direction decreased ( P = 0.039) to lower levels than in control subjects ( P = 0.0064). RV diastolic forces decreased in all directions ( P = 0.0078, P = 0.0078, and P = 0.039) but were still higher than in control subjects in the diaphragm-RVOT direction ( P = 0.046). In conclusion, patients with rToF and PR had LV hemodynamic forces less aligned with intraventricular blood flow compared with control subjects and higher diastolic RV forces along the regurgitant flow direction in the RVOT and that of tricuspid inflow. Remaining force differences in the LV and RV after PVR suggest that biventricular pumping does not normalize after surgery. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Biventricular hemodynamic forces in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary regurgitation were quantified for the first time. Left ventricular hemodynamic forces were less aligned to the main blood flow direction in patients compared with control subjects. Higher right ventricular forces were seen along the pulmonary regurgitant and tricuspid inflow directions. Differences in forces versus control subjects remain after pulmonary valve replacement, suggesting that altered biventricular pumping does not normalize after surgery.
