Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), formerly known as Steno-Fallot tetralogy, [9] is a congenital heart defect characterized by four specific cardiac defects. [4] Classically, the four defects are: [ 4 ] pulmonary stenosis , which is narrowing of the exit from the right ventricle;
Ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD), and tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) are the most common congenital heart defects seen in the VACTERL association. [19] Less common defects in the association are persistent truncus arteriosus and transposition of the great arteries .
The most common cause of right-to-left shunt is the Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by four co-existing heart defects. Pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve and outflow tract, obstructing blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery)
Tetralogy of Fallot or TOF is a congenital heart condition where patients have have four heart abnormalities. Here’s the normal heart, with upper chambers, the left and the right atria, and lower chambers, the left and the right ventricles, as well as the aorta and the pulmonary artery.
Tetralogy of Fallot: pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect, right ventricular hypertrophy, overriding aorta: Tetralogy of Fallot Ménière's disease: vertigo, tinnitus, fluctuating low frequency hearing loss, aural fullness: Ménière's disease zoonotic tetrad: scrub typhus, chiggers, rodents and birds, scrub vegetation
The Blalock–Thomas–Taussig shunt (BTT shunt), [1] previously known as the Blalock–Taussig Shunt (BT shunt), [2] is a surgical procedure used to increase blood flow to the lungs in some forms of congenital heart disease [3] such as pulmonary atresia and tetralogy of Fallot, which are common causes of blue baby syndrome. [3]
Trilogy of Fallot is a combination of three congenital heart defects: pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, and an atrial septal defect. [1]The first two of these are also found in the more common tetralogy of Fallot.
Tetralogy of Fallot; Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. A left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) may be due to a defect in the aortic valve ...
