Overview
Patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome pass through the following stages: An underlying heart defect that initially allows a left-to-right shunt between the left and right sides of the heart, then the development of pulmonary hypertension, then polycythemia, an increase in the number of red blood cells, and finally, a reversal of the left-to-right shunt so that there is a right-to-left shunt. The common symptoms of Eisenmenger's syndrome include dyspnea, syncope, hemoptysis, chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, and dyspnea.
History and Symptoms
History
Patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome pass through the following stages[1]:
- An underlying heart defect that initially allows a left-to-right shunt between the left and right sides of the heart
- The development of pulmonary hypertension
- Polycythemia, an increase in the number of red blood cells
- Finally, a reversal of the left-to-right shunt so that there is a right-to-left shunt
Therefore, they may present with a history of symptoms for each of these stages.
