Read MoreThe congenital cardiac abnormality known as Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is characterized by four distinct anatomical defects that result in impaired blood circulation and low oxygen levels. It's one of the most prevalent cyanotic heart conditions, which cause low oxygen levels to cause bluish skin.
