Decreased pulmonary blood flow alone does not cause cyanosis. It is when decreased pulmonary blood flow is associated with right to left shunting (ie Tetralogy of fallot) that it is associated with cyanosis.
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.
A child born with tetralogy of Fallot has four heart defects. The prefix "tetr-" means four.
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.
Your use of the word "attack" along with the word "non-communicable" makes me wonder whether you really mean what you seem to mean. Micro-organisms attack the body, but they're communicable. Perhaps you meant to say "affect the heart"...? There are many non-infectious cardiac diseases. These include congenital anomolies such as Tetralogy of Fallot, coronary artery disease, left and right ventricular dysfunction (also known as heart failure), arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, connective tissue diseases such as amyloidosis, and many others. Also, there are diseases which are non-cardiac but which affect the heart's function. These include pulmonary hypertension, vasculitis, anxiety, drug abuse, and many others.

decreased pulmonary venous return to reduce R to L shunt

Pentalogy comes after tetralogy in literature sense.
There are temporary surgical procedures that can prolong the time before corrective surgery while the baby grows larger and stronger. During surgery, the pulmonary valve is widened.
A tetralogy is a group of four related literary or operatic works.
A "Pink Tet" is simply an Acyanotic Tetralogy of Fallot. The same 4 cardiac anomalies are present as in Cyanotic ToF: 1) Pulmonary Stenosis, 2) VSD, 3) Overriding Aorta and 4) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy... but the pulmonary stenosis less severe. Milder pulmonary stenosis means that more blood is getting to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Also, because less stenosis equals less back pressure through the Right to Left shunt and less shunting of oxygen-poor blood into the peripheral circulation.
tetralogy of Fallot
The prefix "tetra-" in the term tetralogy means "four." In medical terminology, tetralogy refers to a group of four associated symptoms or conditions.
