Increased availability and access to medical image data has enabled more quantitative approaches to clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning for congenital heart disease. Here we present an overview of long-term clinical management of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and its intersection with novel computational and data science approaches to discovering biomarkers of functional and prognostic importance. Efforts in translational medicine that seek to address the clinical challenges associated with cardiovascular diseases using personalized and precision-based approaches are then discussed. The considerations and challenges of translational cardiovascular medicine are reviewed, and examples of digital platforms with collaborative, cloud-based, and scalable design are provided.
