Ventricular wall stress is considered to be an early marker of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To investigate the association of RV wall stresses and their change over time with functional parameters in TOF patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ten TOF patients after surgical repair with moderate\/severe pulmonary regurgitation were included. At two timepoints (median follow-up time 7.2 years), patient-specific computational biventricular models for wall stress assessment were created using CMR short-axis cine images and echocardiography-based RV pressures. RV ejection fraction (RVEF), NT-proBNP and cardiopulmonary exercise tests were used as outcome measures reflecting RV function. Associations between regional RV diastolic wall stress and RV function were investigated using linear mixed models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Increased wall stress correlated with lower RV mass (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>rm\u2009<\/jats:sub>=\u2009\u22120.70, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.017) and lower RV mass-to-volume (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>rm\u2009<\/jats:sub>=\u2009\u22120.80, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003) using repeated measures. Wall stress decreased significantly over time, especially in patients with a stable RVEF (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Higher wall stress was independently associated with lower RVEF, adjusted for left ventricular ejection fraction, RV end-diastolic volume and time since initial surgery (decrease of 1.27% RVEF per kPa increase in wall stress, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.029) using repeated measurements. No association was found between wall stress, NT-proBNP, and exercise capacity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Using a computational method to calculate wall stress locally in geometrically complex ventricles, we demonstrated that lower wall stress might be important to maintain ventricular function.
