Figure Lengend Snippet: Measurement of TA and RH geometry and function via 3DE and Tomtec workstation 4D assessment analysis software. (A) Quantitative analysis of RV geometry and function via 4D assessment analysis software. The ventricular endocardium was detected at end‐diastole and end‐systole and was verified by the reader via long‐ and short‐axis views to obtain RV 3D reconstructions. The time‒volume curve of the right ventricle is automatically generated by the software, as are the chamber volumes and function. EDVi, end‐diastolic volume indexed; EF, ejection fraction; ESV, end‐systolic volume; ESVi, end‐systolic volume indexed; EVD, end‐diastolic volume; SV, stroke volume. (B, C) Enface ventricular view of the TA. In this case, the green circle represents the TA, the pink line represents the AP diameter, and the blue line represents the SL diameter. AML, anterior mitral leaflet; AO, aorta; AP, anteroposterior diameter; A‐P, anteroposterior commissure; ATL, anterior tricuspid leaflet; PML, posterior mitral leaflet; PTL, posterior tricuspid leaflet; STL, septal tricuspid leaflet; SL, septal–lateral diameter; A‐S, anteroseptal commissure; P‐S, posteroseptal commissure. (D) 3D reconstruction of the heart chambers. In this case, the green circle represents the TA. LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle.
