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, Materialize Inc.). Participants first completed… More >
