Tetralogy of Fallot represents 5-7% of [[congenital heart defect]]s. Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cause of [[cyanotic heart disease]] and accounts for one third of all cases of [[cyanotic heart disease]].
Tetralogy of Fallot occurs in approximately 30 to 60 per 100,000 births. Tetralogy of Fallot represents 5-7% of [[congenital heart defect]]s. The majority of cases are thought to be sporadic and are not [[familial]]. Tetralogy of Fallot occurs slightly more often in [[Male|males]] than in [[females]].
