Realistic styles are not always the best for didactic illustrations, as too much detail can be unnecessary and overwhelming. In some cases, simple 2D images are both easier to learn from and easier to produce. Here, I used vector images to describe the congenital abnormalities associated with tetralogy of Fallot and how they affect ventricular systole.
