Right ventricular hypertrophy is the hallmark EKG finding in the patient with tetralogy of Fallot and is of value in the differential diagnosis from ventricular septal defect 5. Tall R waves in the right precordial leads (V1-V2) are usually seen.

Dec 2, 2024 · Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease, representing 5% to 7% of all congenital heart defects. TOF is a conotruncal cardiac defect characterized by a large and anteriorly malaligned ventricular septal defect, an overriding aortic root, and narrowing of the subpulmonary and pulmonary valves.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a combination of four congenital (present at birth) heart defects that affect infants and children. The defects occur together and change the way blood flows through the heart and lungs. TOF occurs in about 1 out of every 2,518 babies born in the U.S. each year.

Jul 27, 2018 · Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the commonest cyanotic congenital heart disease. It's a tetrad of Ventricular septal defect (VSD), Pulmonary stenosis (PS), Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), and Overriding aorta.

Oct 18, 2023 · Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) includes the following major features : Right ventricular (RV) outflow tract obstruction Ventricular septal defect (VSD) Deviation of the origin of the aorta to the right so that it overrides the VSD Concentric RV hypertrophy

Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is considered the most frequent cyanotic congenital heart abnormality with a low adulthood survival rate if kept untreated. The majority of cases are symptomatic during infancy and mandate early treatment.

Jul 5, 2022 · Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF): most common cyanotic congenital heart disease presenting after neonatal period; accounts for 7-10% of all congenital cardiac defects; includes four defects: ventricular septal defect (VSD), pulmonary …

Findings on an ECG suggestive of tetralogy of Fallot include: The EKG often shows right axis deviation and right ventricular hypertrophy in tetralogy of Fallot. Wider QRS correlates with worse right ventricle dysfunction. Right atrial enlargement may be present.

Jun 13, 2024 · Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the most common congenital heart disorders (CHDs). This condition is classified as a cyanotic heart disorder, because tetralogy of Fallot results in an...
