    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Medical Technology
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Left-to-right shunts are critical congenital heart defects.
    • Accurate detection and quantification are essential for patient management.
    • Existing methods for shunt detection can be labor-intensive or less precise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate an on-line computer technique for detecting and quantifying left-to-right shunts.
    • To compare the computer method's accuracy against established techniques.
    • To assess the computer's ability to calculate various hemodynamic parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • An on-line computer system was developed for real-time analysis.
    • Student's t test was employed to evaluate oxygen saturation variations in the right heart.

  • Hemodynamic parameters including pulmonary and systemic blood flow were calculated.

    • Main Results:

    • The computer technique demonstrated favorable comparison to the conventional step-up method for shunt detection.
    • High correlation coefficients were observed between computer and hand calculations for pulmonary blood flow (0.98), systemic blood flow (0.94), their ratio (0.95), and shunt blood flow (0.71).
    • The computer accurately calculated key hemodynamic parameters.

    Conclusions:

    • The described on-line computer technique provides an accurate and efficient method for detecting and quantifying left-to-right shunts.
    • This computational approach simplifies hemodynamic assessment in patients with cardiac shunts.
    • The method holds promise for improving diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making in pediatric cardiology.
