Congenital heart defects with right-to-left shunt are one of the hypoxia-related causes of acquired secondary polycythemia (SP). Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common congenital cyanotic heart disease in children. Cases of uncorrected ToF in adult ages are rare. This paper reports a woman detected with elevated hemoglobin level during routine tests performed for infertility therapy and subsequently diagnosed SP with related ToF.
伴有右向左分流的先天性心脏缺陷是后天性继发性红细胞增多症(SP)的缺氧相关病因之一。法洛四联症(ToF)是儿童中最常见的先天性青紫型心脏病。成年期未经矫正的ToF病例罕见。本文报告了一名女性,在因不孕症治疗进行的常规检查中发现血红蛋白水平升高,随后被诊断为与ToF相关的SP。
