Tetralogy of Fallot is the congenital cardiac anomaly that consists of four defects. These defects include an overriding aorta, pulmonary stenosis, abnormally large right ventricle, and a hole in the wall between the heart's ventricles.
The different types of congenital heart disease in adults are - Atrial septal defects, both secundum and primum, with closure often achieved with outpatient catheter-based techniques. - Ventricular septal defects. - Coarctation of the aorta. - Valvular defects. - Tetralogy of Fallot.
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.
Pentalogy comes after tetralogy in literature sense.
