As per your message something is missing. TOF diagnosed at the age of 33 is surprising.
Kindly send Echocardiography report So that I analyse it properly.

Hello,
TOF is a disease present since birth. If he is having bluish nails and toes which were not there previously then its likely to be Eisenmenger AVSD rather than TOF. Down synd patients have AV septal defects commonly not TOF. Need to see his echo and ECG
Take care
