    In the first aid Q&A for step 2 in the cardiovascular section question 20 say the answer is dextro position which I assume is transposition of the great vessels is the most common cause of cyanotic heart disease. However in First Aid for step one it says in the CV section that tetrology of Fallot is the most common cause of cyanotic heart disease which is what I learned. Transposition is more common in babies born to diabetic mothers, and hypoplastic left heart is not all that common which is mentioned in answer D of the explanations is not one of the 5 T’s of cyanotic heart disease
