It is a rare heart condition caused by a combination of four heart defects that are present since the time of birth. Patients develop a hole between their ventricles of their heart. Besides, these the muscular wall of the right ventricle becomes thicker and the pulmonary valve narrows. The aortic valve is enlarged in this condition and it seems to be open from both ventricles rather then from left ventricle only which happens in the normal heart.
These defects affect the structure of the heart and it also causes poor supply of Oxygen in the heart and also into the rest of the body. Due to this infants and children with TOF usually have blue skin tone, because their blood does not carry enough oxygen.
