Systemic right ventricle pre-load and stroke volume depend mainly on intraatrial pathway function. Moreover, systemic right ventricle remodeling and right atrial dysfunction impair systemic right ventricle filling, leading to BNP increase and exercise limitation. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging should assess systemic right ventricle filling abnormalities in D-TGA patients.
