Type: dissertation
Abstract: An overview is given on congenital heart disease in general and on tetralogy of\nFallot (TOF) more specifically. Etiology and birth prevalences will be discussed, as well as treatment\noptions and long-term outcome in TOF patients with regard to ventricular function and clinical\ncondition.
