The document discusses tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a congenital heart defect characterized by four abnormalities: ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary stenosis (PS), right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), and overriding of the aorta. TOF is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease, accounting for 10-15% of all congenital heart defects and 75% of cyanotic defects. Clinical manifestations include fatigue, dyspnea, clubbed fingers, and cyanosis. Diagnosis is made through echocardiogram, x-ray, and EKG showing the four defects and signs of RVH. Complications can include cerebral infarction or abscess. Treatment is generally surgical correction.
