Answer:

a. A ventricular septal defect

b. Right ventricular hypertrophy

d. Obstructed right ventricular outflow

e. An aorta positioned above the ventricular septal opening

Step-by-step explanation:

Tetralogy of Fallot is a combination of four heart defects as the name ‘Tetra’ depicts. The four heart defects include A ventricular septal defect ,Right ventricular hypertrophy ,Obstructed right ventricular outflow and An aorta positioned above the ventricular septal opening.

It usually occurs and discovered at birth and it involves the process whereby the heart isn’t able to pump oxygen-rich blood to other parts of the body. Instead the blood are usually oxygen deficient and could cause a variety of health complications.
