What will be an ideal response?


Ventricular septal defects are abnormal openings between the left and right ventricles. Tetralogy of Fallot includes a ventricular septal defect plus three other heart defects: a narrowing of the pulmonary trunk, a displaced aorta, and an enlarged right ventricle with corresponding thickening right and left ventricles.
