CHD Spotlight #3: Tetralogy of Fallot

This is the 3rd episode in our CHD Spotlight mini-series and we'll be talking about Tetralogy of Fallot. Our expert Guest is Roslyn Rivera and she is a pediatric cardiology nurse who was also born with a congenital heart defect. In this episode, Roslyn shares with Anna what tetralogy of Fallot is, who coined the term for this complex congenital heart condition, what methods are used to palliate the condition, what some possible causes of the condition are, and survival rates for babies born with ToF. In the second segment, Roslyn even shares the name of a famous athlete born with ToF, proving that ToF doesn't have to mean that a person will have an inferior life and that there is great hope for babies born with this heart condition today.
