Tetralogy of Fallot
Tetralogy of Fallot
A congenital heart defect involving four distinct abnormalities: VSD, pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
Ductal Dependent
Ductal Dependent
A condition where the infant's survival depends on the ductus arteriosus remaining open to allow blood flow to the lungs.

Study Notes
- Tetralogy of Fallot includes four heart defects.
- The four defects are: ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
- Tetralogy of Fallot is ductal dependent meaning the patient relies on a patent ductus arteriosus to provide pulmonary blood flow.
- This condition results in right-to-left shunting of blood.
- The right-to-left shunting leads to cyanosis.
- Deoxygenated blood circulates through the body in those with Tetralogy of Fallot.
