Schematics of the multiscale model of a 5-mm right ventricle to pulmonary artery shunt Norwood circulation that couples a 3-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model to the lumped parameter network of the entire circulation. (AO = aorta; ASD = atrial septal defect; CA1 = coronary artery 1; CA2 = coronary artery 2; CB = coronary bed; CV = coronary vein; LA = left atrium; LBA = lower body arteries; LBB = lower body bed; LVB = lower body veins; NEOAO = neoaorta; PAB = pulmonary arterial bed; PVB = pulmonary venous bed; RA = right atrium; SVP = single ventricle physiology; TRIC = tricuspid valve; UBA = upper body arteries; UBB = upper body bed; UBV = upper body veins.)
