Electrical disparity can induce inefficient cardiac performance, representing an uncoordinated wall motion at an earlier activated ventricular wall: an early shortening followed by a systolic rebound stretch. Although regional contractility and distensibility modulate this pathological motion, the effect of a morphological factor has not been emphasized. Our strain analysis in 62 patients with single ventricle revealed that those with an activation delay in 60-70% of ventricular wall area suffered from cardiac dysfunction and mechanical discoordination along with prolonged QRS duration. A computational simulation with a two-compartment ventricular model also suggested that the ventricle with an activation delay in 70% of the total volume was most vulnerable to a large activation delay, accompanied by an uncoordinated motion at an earlier activated wall. Taken together, the ratio of the delayed ventricular wall has a significant impact on the pathophysiology due to an activation delay, potentially highlighting an indicator of cardiac dysfunction.
