Definition
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of themost common congenital heartdisorders (CHDs). This condition isclassified as a cyanotic heartdisorder, because tetralogy of Fallotresults in an inadequate flow of blood
to the lungs for oxygenation.

EtiologyThe causes of most congenital heart diseases(CHDs) are unknown, but many factors seem to beinvolvedFactors that increase the risk for this conditionduring pregnancy include:
Alcoholism in the motherDiabetesMother who is over 40 years old
Poor nutrition during pregnancyRubella or other viral illnesses during pregnancyChildren with tetralogy of Fallot are more likely tohave chromosome disorders, such as Downsyndrome and DiGeorge syndrome (a condition that
causes heart defects, low calcium levels, and poorimmune function)

EpidemiologyTetralogy of Fallot (TOF) representsapproximately 10% of cases of congenitalheart disease (CHD), occurs in 3-6 infants
for every 10,000 births, and is the mostcommon cause of cyanotic CHD.This problem is not necessarily fatal.If not treated, the mortality rate is 95% byage 40.Treatment is typically done at age 6-12months.

SymptomsTetralogy of Fallot symptoms vary, depending on the extentof obstruction of blood flow out of the right ventricle andinto the lungs. Signs and symptoms may include:
- A bluish coloration of the skin caused by blood low inoxygen (cyanosis)- Shortness of breath and rapid breathing, especiallyduring feeding- Loss of consciousness (fainting)- Clubbing of fingers and toes an abnormal, roundedshape of the nail bed- Poor weight gain- Tiring easily during play- Irritability- Prolonged crying- A heart murmur

Blood test
In tetralogy of Fallot, the number of red blood cells may be abnormallyhigh (erythrocytosis) as the bodyattempts to increase the oxygen levelin the blood.

Chest x-ray
A typical sign of tetralogy of Fallot onan X-ray is a "boot-shaped" heart,because the right ventricle isenlarged.

Electrocardiogram
To determine right ventricle isenlarged (ventricular hypertrophy)and if the heart rhythm is regular.

Treatment
Surgery is the only effectivetreatment for tetralogy of Fallot.There are two types of surgery thatmay be performed, includingintracardiac repair or a temporaryprocedure that uses a shunt.
- Intracardiac repair- temporary surgery

Intracardiac repairthe surgeon places a patch over theventricular septal defect to close thehole between the ventricles. He orshe also repairs the narrowedpulmonary valve and widens thepulmonary arteries to increase bloodflow to the lungs. After intracardiacrepair, the oxygen level in the bloodincreases and your baby's symptomswill lessen.

Temporary surgery
create a bypass (shunt) between theaorta and pulmonary artery. Thisbypass increases blood flow to thelungs. When your baby is ready forintracardiac repair, the shunt isremoved.
