Fallot Tetralojisi (TOF)-İMAEH Zoom Dersleri-14

Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital anomaly resulting in pulmonary stenosis, an interventricular defect, biventricular aortal origin, and right ventricular hypertrophy. It is the most common cyanotic heart condition in children that have survived beyond the neonatal time period without treatment, accounting for 7 to 10 percent of congenital defects. Intervention should occur within the first year of life. This activity explains when tetralogy of Fallot should be considered on differential diagnosis and reviews the proper evaluation and management of this condition.

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic heart condition in children who have survived untreated beyond neonatal age, with the need for an intervention in the first year of life. It accounts for 7% to 10% of congenital defects, affecting males and females equally and occurring in 3 to 5 of every 10,000 live births.

Up to 50% of patients are diagnosed antenatally by fetal echocardiography, anticipating the need for postnatal prostaglandin therapy if there is evidence of severe right ventricular outflow obstruction. Useful studies to help with diagnosis and evaluation include chest radiograph, electrocardiogram, and echocardiogram. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NB...)
