Tetralogy of
Fallot
It
is an inherited heart fault which is characteristically unspoken to include
four anatomical abnormalities of the heart. It is the most mutual cyanotic
heart defect, and the greatest common cause of blue baby syndrome.
Symptoms
The
main symptom is low blood oxygen fullness with or deprived of cyanosis from
birth or emergent in the first year of life. If the baby is not cyanotic then
it is occasionally denoted to as a "pink test."
Diagnosis
Inherited
heart faults are now examined with echocardiography, which is rapid, includes
no radiation, is very exact, and can be done prenatally.
Treatment
Previous
to remedial surgery, children with tetralogy of Fallout may be disposed to to important
acute hypoxia (Tet spells), branded by unexpected cyanosis and syncope.
