The Tetralogy of Fallot is a type of congenital heart defect that consists of four abnormalities in the heart's structure, including:

1) Ventricular septal defect (hole between the two lower chambers of the heart)
2) Pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve and artery)
3) Overriding aorta (aorta is shifted over the right ventricle)
4) Right ventricular hypertrophy (enlargement of the right ventricle)

This condition can cause a variety of symptoms, including cyanosis (blueness of the skin), shortness of breath, and poor growth. Treatment usually involves surgical intervention to correct the defects and improve heart function.
