2. Fig. 1
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging of Ebstein anomaly. A. CMR measurement of functional right ventricle end-diastolic volume (yellow) after cone reconstruction. Volume within the “cone” (surrounded by dash line; asterisk) was included in the calculation of right ventricular volume. B. Schematic diagram of the desynchronous tricuspid-valve movement associated with Ebstein anomaly. The yellow triangle represents the functional tricuspid annulus in the end-diastolic frame, while the red triangle represents it in the end-systolic frame. White arrows show the movement of the hinge points of the three leaflets. C. Measurement of ΔTL1-RVA and ΔTL2-RVA in the four-chamber view. D. Measurement of ΔTL3-RVA in the right-ventricle two-chamber view. In C and D, red lines (end-diastolic) and blue lines (end-systolic) are the segmental lines joining the right ventricular apex and each hinge point. ΔTL-RVA is the length of the red line minus the length of the corresponding blue line. AL, anterior leaflet; SL, septal leaflet; PL, posterior leaflet; RVA, right ventricular apex.

3. Fig. 2
CMR volume-rendered 3D images and parameters measured before cone reconstruction and at last follow-up. A. Ventricular shape before surgery. B. Ventricular shape in the same patient at last follow-up. C. RV EDV. D. RV EDV index. E. RV ESV index. F. RV EF. Round points indicate subjects. Triangles represent the median and interquartile range. RV, right ventricle; aRV, atrialized right ventricle; fRV, functional right ventricle; LV, left ventricle; EDV, end-diastolic volume; EF, ejection fraction; TAMSI, tricuspid annular movement synchronicity index.

4. Fig. 3
Tricuspid annular movement before cone reconstruction (A, B) and at follow-up (C, D), plus a healthy individual for comparison (E, F). A, C, E: transverse view. B, D, F: right ventricle two-chamber view. Red lines mark the tricuspid annular plane in the end-diastolic frame, while blue lines mark it in the end-systolic frame; arrows indicate the offset. E. TAMSI in Ebstein anomaly before and after surgery, and in normal control group. Blue boxes represent the 95% confidence interval, and whiskers, the range. AL, anterior leaflet; SL, septal leaflet; PL, posterior leaflet; TAMSI, tricuspid annular movement synchronicity index.
