Complex congenital heart defect

Complex congenital heart defect:
The commonest complex congenital heart defect seen worldwide is known as 'the Fallot's tetralogy'. This defect has a combination of the following:
a) A large VSD
b) Right ventricular hypertrophy - the muscles of the right ventricle enlarge due to the excess stress of pumping more than usual blood volumes.
c) Overriding of the Aorta - the aorta is a large vessel carrying blood from the left ventricle to various body parts. Normally, its origin is in the left ventricle only. In the Fallot's tetralogy, the aorta is placed above the left as well as the right ventricle as opposed to normal. Thus, impure blood from the right ventricle gets mixed with the pure (oxygenated) blood from the left ventricle.
d) Pulmonary valve stenosis - this occasionally causes the presence of a murmur.
