In this work we propose to use 4D Flow sequence to obtain and compare pressure maps in Ao and PA of healthy volunteer and patients with rTOF. rTOF patients had relative pressure differences between maximum and minimum values higher than volunteer in PA (P<0,05). Additionally, relative pressure of the Ao shown in this work had excellent correlation with other published values using 4D Flow and catheterization. The differences of maximum and minimum relative pressures in TOFr patients could be a novel parameter that can be used to study right ventricular function.
