What are the manifestations of Tetralogy of Fallot?

Patient's question:

The child exhibited facial cyanosis shortly after birth. I am very anxious. This is my first child. After the hospital examination, they informed us that the child has Tetralogy of Fallot. I would like to know, what are the clinical manifestations of Tetralogy of Fallot?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, children with this condition primarily exhibit cyanosis, difficulty breathing, and these symptoms worsen during crying. Through color Doppler ultrasound and dynamic electrocardiogram, the interventricular septal defect, pulmonary artery hypertension, and right ventricular stenosis can be clearly identified. If a child has this disease, it is essential to seek detailed examination and treatment at a formal and professional hospital. Some severely ill children may experience fainting due to severe hypoxia, accompanied by epilepsy and convulsions. The child's physical examination may reveal poor development and a bulge in the chest. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal and professional hospital.
