Advances in pediatric cardiac surgery have resulted in a recent growing epidemic of children and young adults with congenital heart diseases (CHDs). In these patients, congenital defects themselves, surgical operations and remaining lesions may alter cardiac anatomy and impact the mechanical performance of both ventricles.

A single study has shown this translates to humans with 22q11 and structurally normal hearts. Animal studies have shown that mice with TBX1 gene mutations have smaller left pulmonary arteries compared to wild type mice, defined by a reduced left pulmonary artery (LPA) to right pulmonary artery (RPA) ratio.
