Tetralogy of Fallot
Tetralogy of fallot is a congenital heart disease comprised of four anatomic features stemming from the malalignment of the infundibular septum:
- Right ventrifular outflow obstruction (pulmonic stenosis)
- Ventricular Septal Defect
- Overriding aorta
- Right ventricular hypertrophy
- Clinically, it is a cyanotic heart defect and generally is diagnosed in infancy or early childhood.
Echo functions in Tetralogy of Fallot
- Characterization of defects
- Options for surgical intervention
- Post-operative repair function
Best evaluated by:
- parasternal long-axis view
- short-axis view (to evaluate size of septal defect)
Post surgical evaluation should include:
- Evaluation of VSD repair
- Residual shunting
- Right ventricular size and contractility
- Right ventricular outflow tract for residual stenosis
- Severity of pulmonary regurgitation
