Tetralogy of Fallot
- Characterized by a combination of four heart defects: ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, and an overriding aorta
- Common symptom in infants: cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of the skin due to inadequate oxygenation
Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
- Characterized by a lack of cyanosis, as oxygenation is adequate
- Commonly associated with: atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus
- Not typically associated with: defects that obstruct blood flow, such as pulmonary or aortic stenosis
