Using AI to predict heart function in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot
Official title: Precision Prediction of Right Ventricular Size, Function, and Outcomes in Patients with Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot
Funded at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai · NIH-11055102 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking to make it easier for people who have had surgery for tetralogy of Fallot to understand their heart health by using advanced technology to analyze heart tests, so they can avoid extra MRIs and get better care.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are individuals aged 12 years and older who have undergone surgical repair for tetralogy of Fallot.
✕Less likely to help
Patients without a history of tetralogy of Fallot or those who are not within the specified age range may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research focuses on improving the prediction of right ventricular size and function in patients who have undergone repair for tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect. By utilizing advanced artificial intelligence techniques, the study aims to analyze data from electrocardiograms and echocardiograms to provide more accurate risk assessments for heart failure and other complications. This approach seeks to reduce the need for frequent cardiac MRIs, which can be burdensome for patients. The ultimate goal is to enhance patient management and outcomes through better risk stratification.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more accurate monitoring and management of heart health in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, potentially reducing complications and improving quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown promise in using AI for cardiovascular imaging and risk prediction, indicating that this approach could be effective.
