Abstract Background: Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) will transition to lifelong adult congenital cardiac care. However, their structural heart disease is challenging to convey via two-dimensional drawings. This study utilized a tele-educational environment, with personalized three-dimensional (3D) modeling and health Details (3D + Details = “4D”), to improve actual and perceived knowledge, both important components of transition readiness in CHD patients. Methods: Participants aged ≥13 years with a history of CHD and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies were eligible. Cardiac MRI datasets were then used to segment and create 3D heart models (using Mimics,… More >
