What are the 4 anomalies associated with Tetrology of Fallot?
a. ASD, VSD, LVH, RVH
b. VVH, PS, Overriding aorta, RVH
c. Overriding aorta, RVH, LVH, ASD
d. Pulmonic stenosis, overriding aorta, RVH, VSD

Study These Flashcards

d. Pulmonic stenosis, overriding aorta, RVH, VSD

Tetralogy of Fallot consists of the combination of four different heart defects: a
ventricular septal defect (VSD); obstructed outflow of blood from the right
ventricle to the lungs (pulmonary stenosis); a displaced aorta, which causes blood
to flow into the aorta from both the right and left ventricles (dextroposition or
overriding aorta); and abnormal enlargement of the right ventricle (right
ventricular hypertrophy)

Which fetal anomaly is characterized by a large VSD over which large single great
vessel arises
a. Transposition of the Great Vessels
b. Tricuspid Atresia
c. Tetralogy of Fallot
