Résumé

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the key examination for patients with tetralogy of Fallot, but it remains challenging. The MRI report should at least mention left (L) and right (R) ventricle end-diastole volumes (V), ejection fraction (EF) and pulmonary regurgitation (PR). These variables are linked by basic physiology rules and (V × EF)L=(V × EF)R(1-PR).
