Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in Tetralogy of Fallot-state of the art.

ABSTRACT: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common type of cyanotic congenital heart disease expressing different severity. There is an increasing survival into adulthood and most patients now experience a good quality of life. Still, complications will develop over time related to the primary surgery and the resulting remodeling of the heart and vessels, which will require reintervention or operation several times during their lives. Imaging plays an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients, such as echocardiography as the basic modality, as well as computed tomography angiography (CTA) and cardiac catheterization, providing important anatomical data and the possibility for interventional treatment. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is increasin
