Which set of defects makes up Tetralogy of Fallot?

  1. Atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, aortic stenosis, and left ventricular hypertrophy
  2. Pulmonary stenosis, large ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy
  3. Coarctation of the aorta, mitral stenosis, small VSD, and left atrial enlargement
  4. Transposed great arteries, patent foramen ovale, tricuspid atresia, and a small left ventricle
Show answer

Correct answer: Pulmonary stenosis, large ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy

Narrowing at the pulmonary valve, a large hole between the ventricles, an overriding aorta, and an enlarged right ventricle define the condition.
