Tetralogy of Fallot: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Life Outlook Explained

In this video, we provide an in-depth explanation of Tetralogy of Fallot, a complex congenital heart defect that affects newborns. We break down the condition into its four key components and explain how they impact the heart’s function. Tetralogy of Fallot consists of: Pulmonary stenosis – narrowing of the pulmonary valve and artery. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) – a hole between the two ventricles of the heart. Overriding aorta – the aorta is positioned directly over the ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular hypertrophy – thickening of the right ventricle muscle. In this video, we’ll explore: Causes and risk factors: Understanding the genetic and environmental factors that can lead to Tetralogy of Fallot. Symptoms: Common signs of the condition, including cyanosis (bluish skin), difficulty breathing, and fatigue in infants. Diagnosis: How doctors diagnose Tetralogy of Fallot through physical exams, imaging tests like echocardiograms, and other diagnostic tools. Treatment and Surgery: We explain the treatment options, including corrective surgery to repair the defects and improve heart function. We also touch on the role of ongoing care post-surgery. Long-term outlook: What patients can expect after treatment, including potential complications and the need for lifelong monitoring. This video aims to provide clear, reliable information for anyone wanting to learn more about Tetralogy of Fallot, whether you’re a student, healthcare professional, or simply seeking to understand this congenital heart condition better.
