1. Tetralogy of Fallot is a combination of 3 birth defects.

2. These defects together change the structure of the heart and the blood flow in it becomes abnormal.

3. The condition was first described in the 19^th century.

4. VSD is a hole in the pericardium.

5. The septum doesn’t let oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix.

6. The blood in the left ventricle is low in oxygen.

7. The blood in the right ventricle is high in oxygen.

8. When there is right ventricular hypertrophy the muscular wall of the right ventricle is too thick.

9. The aorta carries the blood high in oxygen to the lungs.

10. In a normal heart the aorta is above the left ventricle.

11. When there is pulmonary stenosis the pulmonary valve is too thick.

12. The pulmonary artery carries high-oxygen blood to the lungs.

13. When there is pulmonary stenosis the heart doesn’t work much to pump the blood to the lungs.

The causes of tetralogy of Fallot are not known. But a person who was born with TOF is likely to have a child with it. Mothers who have rubella or other viral illnesses during their pregnancies are at a higher risk of giving birth to babies with TOF. Other risk factors and conditions include poor nutrition, alcohol abuse, diabetes, and mother's age (over 40). Children with genetic disorders often have congenital heart defects.

One of the most common signs of tetralogy of Fallot is cyanosis (a blue colour of the baby's skin, lips, and fingernails). A child with TOF may have sudden episodes of cyanosis, during crying or feeding. Other signs include: heart murmur, easy tiring with exertion, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat.

The doctor may use several diagnostic tests to determine tetralogy of Fallot, including:

· Pulse oximeter: a small sensor that clips onto the fingertip, toe, or ear and measures how much oxygen is in the blood.

· Electrocardiogram: a test that records the electrical activity of the heart

· Echocardiogram: an ultrasound picture of the heart structures (chambers, walls, and valves).

· Chest x-ray.

There is an open-heart surgery made soon after birth or later in infancy to repair tetralogy of Fallot.
