Among the cMRI parameters commonly taken into consideration in rToF patients, LV dysfunction seemed to be the only one affected by the presence of a genetic syndrome. The percentage of patients performing PVR appears to be similar in both populations, although syndromic patients were older at repair and younger at PVR. Finally, the number of arrhythmic events in rToF patients seems to be low and unaffected by chromosomal abnormalities.
