  • Title: Congestive heart failure with tetralogy of Fallot relieved by an aortopulmonary shunt.
    Author: Watson DG, Smith JC, Warren ET.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 1997; 18(5):381-4. PubMed ID: 9270111.
    Abstract:
    Congestive heart failure occurring in unoperated patients with otherwise uncomplicated tetralogy of Fallot (TF) is rare. We report the case of a boy who was first diagnosed as having TF when he presented at age 3 years with hypoxia and heart failure. Heart failure improved following an aortopulmonary shunt. We attributed his heart failure to cardiomyopathy associated with severe hypoxia. We believe that this report is the first one that attributes heart failure to hypoxia in an unoperated patient with tetralogy of Fallot.
