Why does decreased pulmonary blood flow cause cyanosis?
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.
What is a congenital cardiac anomaly that consists of four defects?
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.
How many actual heart defects are present in a child born with tetralogy of Fallot?
A child born with tetralogy of Fallot has four heart defects. The prefix "tetr-" means four.
What are the different types of congenital heart disease in adults?
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.
What non-communicable diseases attack the heart?
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.

Why is it that the child will prefer to assume a squatting position in tetralogy of fallot?
decreased pulmonary venous return to reduce R to L shunt
What has the author John W Kirklin written?

What is the defect needed in pink tetralogy of fallot?
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.
Congenital malformation involving four separate heart defects?
tetralogy of Fallot
