Ventricular outflow tract obstruction: An in-silico model to relate the obstruction to hemodynamic quantities in cardiac paediatric patients.

<h4>Background</h4>Right (R) or left (L) ventricular outflow tract (VOT) obstruction can be either a dynamic phenomenon or a congenital anatomic lesion, which requires a prompt and optimal timing of treatment to avoid a pathological ventricular remodelling.<h4>Objective</h4>T...
