The trilogy of Fallot is a congenital heart disease consisting of the following defects: pulmonary valve stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy and atrial septal defect. This disease is 1.6-1.8% of all congenital heart defects.[citation needed]
Mechanism
It consists of the following:
The first two of these are also found in the tetralogy of Fallot. However, the tetralogy has a ventricular septal defect instead of an atrial one, and it also involves an overriding aorta.

Clinically trilogy of Fallot can have cardiomegaly, less symptomatic when compared to ToF, JVP increased, a wave is more elevated, delayed P2, apex beat will be of LV type. S4+, ejection click+, On doing Cath, RV angiogram, when RV is flicked, to create a RV ectopic, there is post ectopic potentiation of the murmur, unlike ToF
Treatment
Thoracotomy is used to surgically correct this pathology.[1]
History
It is named in honor of its discoverer: Etienne Fallot.[2]
