How does the tetrology of fallot affect the heart?

In normal conditions, blood is pumped to the body by the left side of the heart while the right side pumps it to the lungs.

In babies with tetrology of fallot why is the right side of the heart thicker than normal?

This component of tetralogy of fallot is known as right ventricular hypertrophy. It is caused by the fact that the right ventricle, which transports oxygenated blood to the atrium, is working harder to attempt to get more of that blood to the rest of the body. Since the heart is a muscle, it will get thicker as it works harder.
