Overview
The tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect which classically has four anatomical components. It is the most common cyanotic heart defect and the most common cause of blue baby syndrome.
It was described in 1672 by Niels Stensen and in 1888 by the French physician Etienne Fallot, for whom it is named.[1] Media:Example.ogg
