Complete atrioventricular septal defect-tetralogy of Fallot (AVSD-TOF) is a congenital heart defect that is characterized by four main features: a large hole between the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria), a narrowing of the pulmonary valve, an overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy. This condition can cause a variety of symptoms, including cyanosis (blue skin color), shortness of breath, and fatigue. Treatment typically involves surgery to repair the defect and may include medications to help manage symptoms.

The symptoms of Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect-Tetralogy of Fallot include:

-Shortness of breath
-Fatigue
-Poor weight gain
-Poor appetite
-Bluish discoloration of the skin (cyanosis)
-Heart murmur
-Rapid breathing
-Sweating
-Fainting
-Palpitations
-Chest pain
-Exercise intolerance

The exact cause of complete atrioventricular septal defect-tetralogy of Fallot is unknown. However, it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors may include mutations in certain genes that are involved in the development of the heart. Environmental factors may include exposure to certain medications, toxins, or infections during pregnancy.

1. Surgery: The most common treatment for complete atrioventricular septal defect-tetralogy of Fallot is open-heart surgery. During this procedure, the surgeon will repair the hole in the septum between the two ventricles, as well as repair any other defects in the heart.

2. Medications: Medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. These may include diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, beta-blockers to reduce the heart rate, and ACE inhibitors to reduce blood pressure.

3. Transcatheter Closure: This is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to close the hole in the septum between the two ventricles. A catheter is inserted through a vein in the leg and guided to the heart. A device

1. Genetic factors: Certain genetic syndromes, such as Down syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, and Turner syndrome, are associated with an increased risk of Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect-Tetralogy of Fallot.

2. Maternal factors: Maternal diabetes, maternal alcohol use, and maternal smoking during pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect-Tetralogy of Fallot.

3. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental toxins, such as lead, mercury, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), may increase the risk of Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect-Tetralogy of Fallot.

Yes, there is a cure for Complete Atrioventricular Septal Defect-Tetralogy of Fallot. The most common treatment is a surgical procedure called a complete repair, which involves closing the hole between the two ventricles and reconstructing the pulmonary valve. Medications may also be prescribed to help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
