Application of Mathematical Modeling for Simulation and Analysis of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) in Pre- and Postsurgery Conditions

Figure 1

Comparison between normal heart on the left and HLHS heart on the right. (A) is atrial septal defect, (B) is hypoplastic heart, and (C) is patent ductus arteriosus. The left ventricle is very small. The aortic arch is extremely hypoplastic and flow is retrograde. Systemic output is ductal dependent. Adapted from wikipedia.
