Tetralogy of Fallot is a [[congenital heart defect]] which classically has four anatomical components: obstruction to right ventricular outflow, [[right ventricular hypertrophy]], [[ventricular septal defect]], and overriding of aorta. It accounts for approximately 10% of all forms of [[congenital heart disease]]. It is the most common cause of [[cyanosis]] in children over one year of age ([[blue baby syndrome]]). | |||
