What is the tetralogy of fallot?

Answer 1

Tetralogy of Fallot is called this because it is a congenital cardiac defect that consists of four cardiac defects. Fallot is the last name of the physician that named the condition. Tet means four. The four defects are right ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular septal defect, displaced aorta, and pulmanary valve stenosis.
