Hello everyone !
Tetrology of Fallot refers to the tetrad of features occuring in the heart -
1. Ventricular septal defect
2. Pulmonary stenosis
3. Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
4. Overriding aorta.
Now. The factors associated with this disease include a decent bit of things. And while I was revising I remembered I didn't remember them at all. :) :) :) :) :)
-_-
So here's a mnemonic.
CATCH NATE
CATCH = CATCH 22 Syndrome
(DiGeorge Syndrome is represented by CATCH 22 popularly).
N - NOTCH 1 Gene mutations.
A - Alagille syndrome - Associated with a very peculiar set of features - Bile duct hypoplasia. So random .
T - Trisomies 13,18,21
E - Et cetera = Maternal Diabetes , Maternal progesterone , Drugs like Retinoic acid.
Hope this helped !
Stay awesome!
