We aimed to investigate the interaction between systolic myocardial and intraventricular kinetic energy (KE_myo, KE_ven) in Fontan patients. The tissue phase mapping and 4D flow datasets were acquired for calculation of KE_myo and KE_ven. The Fontan group showed decreased peak and mean systolic KE_ven, and decreased peak and mean systolic KE_myo. The KE delay, describing the subtraction of time-to-peak KEmyo from time-to-peak KE_ven, in Fontan group significantly correlated with peak and mean systolic KE_ven. In conclusion, the correlation between KE delay and KE_ven illustrated the adverse impact of abnormal energy transferring mechanism on the single functional ventricle in Fontan patients.
