Your tone of voice is very gentle and patient, makes me relaxed and feel more confident that I will understand it. And I do understand it more from your video than any other! Thanks a million.
I have this condition and my parents have always been open to my questions however I didn't really understand what it was sand this video really helped
It's a congenital heart condition. I'm a paramedic and EKG Technician, and I never met anyone who had tetralogoy of Fallot. I met someone who had a deviated septum in the heart though. It was a newborn baby. I used to give babies EKG's. It wasn't easy to do bc newborn babies seem to never stop moving.
Great presentation!! i would like to make a correction: tetralogy is not latin word, its greek! tetra=4 at greek, logy= speaking for. Tetralogy=speaking for 4 (anatomic disorders). Keep on good work!!
Thankyou so much! you're an amazing teacher..this is a huge favour you're doing to med students and in this field great teachers are not easy to find. Thanks indeed!
Thank you very much. I am so glad to see that the content has been helpful. I actually come back to my own videos sometimes as a refresher! Best of luck with medical school.
I would only add that the pulmonary valve is actually further up the pulmonary trunk than shown in the picture and the pulmonary stenosis can be proximal to it (this is not always the cause). We can repair the stenosis problem and consequently the RV hypertrophy) in this case by thinning the walls of the proximal pulmonary trunk.
there are a few questions i have in mind and hope to be clear by explanation. 1) Right ventricular hypertrophy happens during fetal stage or after birth? thus leading to right side heart failure? 2) Overriding aorta cause mainly by right ventricular hypertrophy or improper division of truncus arteriosus or both? Thank you for your time
Got a question on this on my bio exam tomorrow, and the online info was scrambling my brain a little. Thank you for saving me and helping me to understand it!
From my understanding, the stenosis that occurs is actually narrowing due to a congenital defect that causes a larger aortic outflow and smaller pulmonary outflow. So the stenosis isn't a result of thickening but a result of thinning...
+Rachel Albers i have TOF too and I am 22, The same thing happens to me, but my doctors have explained that on the scale of tof im a tad more effected then most. I hope Eveything is going well! I understand the more then likely tough journey of having it. I slept a lot more until I had my Second open heart surgery at 19 and then I just got my 3rd pacemaker now I don't sleep for 10 hours a night anymore. Fun fact hahaha
I was born with TOF had full repair like this one when i was 7 mo. and have had 3 pulnonary valve replacements(2007,2008,2009) along with 2 stents(2007&2016) the first stent failed which resulted in my 3rd valve and my second stint procedure was done last year hope it sticks with me! anyone else that's gone through this or delt with a loved one going through this you're in my thoughts and prayers!

I don't know if y'all answer questions, but my granddaughter was born with such a severe form of ToF. It's so severe that the Drs from Stanford, Duke, don't really know how to fix it. The key problem it seems, is that she was born with absolutely no pulmonary aorta and her VSD opening is fully open. There isn't a small hole in the division, the division doesn't exist at all. So she should have a heart attack the moment she was born. But, life finds a way. It turns out that her body created all these small collaterals to move blood around. The Drs took a bundle of them and put them together to create a pulmonary aorta. But know the stenosis is essentially blocking the flow and drs can't use the balloon to expand the collaterals. They say she cannot get a heart and lungs transplant since she is so young, 20 months last week. So we are now at my question. Is it possible to connect the heart to a bypass machine and cut out all the collaterals and use either synthetic parts or even pig parts to creat new pathways that would be sustainable? We are very aware that the collaterals can only stretch so much, and oxygen levels are topping at 85 on a good day. Unfortunately her oxygen levels are far from consistent. I have been thinking and researching and I'm not sure if I'm missing something that makes the above idea impossible. Thanks in advance for any info.
hello i have a qs you said oxygen in veins go down when running around but isnt it be artery because oxygen rich blood vessel is artery not vein ? please clarify
Your tone of voice is very gentle and patient, makes me relaxed and feel more confident that I will understand it. And I do understand it more from your video than any other! Thanks a million.
Yess I feel the same
I concur ❤
10 minutes on the internet and something that has puzzled me for ages is answered. Thank you!!
one of the best videos out there explaining all the aspects of why TOF is so complicated. Thank you for the amazing content!

U are an angel sent from the heaven to help us through Med school...... THANK YOU!!
Spot on. Perfectly explained. Thank you so much!!

+Edkendia Whitaker Khan Academy, no matter who is teaching, seems to explain things wonderfully! I love it!
What an outstanding & simple explanation!!
Very comprehensive. Well done. N.B. Tetralogy is a greek word (Τετραλογία)
This video is exemplary. I have seen my fair share of these videos and this one is an absolute gem!
Best explanation ever. Thank you
That was a fantastic explanation! I really understand it so much better now. Thank you
Thanks for being my saviour 💜💜
You're an awesome teacher. Thank you for making this video. Helped make a very involved condition easier to understand.

keep on Khan academy your videos helped me a lot .
Well explained..thank you.God bless you
Thank you for the sensible explanation for a complicated read.
I should pay you the tuition I give my university. Thank you for your teaching.
I really appreciate you guys making these. These make my nursing class crystal clear :) Thank you so much!
thank you.. finally know what overriding aorta means after all these years
wonderful WONDERFUL explanation. THX A LOT
Amazing explanation!
Awesome explanation of each and every detail
Great explanation. I understand a lot better now.
ridiculously well done explanation...
I have tetralogy of fallot. I am now nearly 22 and after I exercise I have to lay down for a while. I also typically sleep at least 10 hours a day. :(
