[The adult with tetralogy of fallot: what the clinical cardiologist needs to know]. / El adulto con tetralogía de Fallot: lo que el cardiólogo clínico necesita saber.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. After more than seven decades of the first palliative surgery, TOF prognosis has changed dramatically. The prevalence of TOF is approximately 3 per 10 000 births, representing 7 to 10% of congenital heart disease. With a higher survival into adulthood, the clinical cardiologist faces challenges in the management of this population, from severe pulmonary regurgitation to heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias. Its prevalence is approximately 3 per 10 000 live births, representing 7 to 10% of congenital heart disease. This review will describe the most relevant aspects of the care of adult patients with this disease.
