Differential Diagnosis of causes of Eisenmenger's Syndrome

A number of congenital heart defects can cause Eisenmenger's syndrome, including:

• Atrial septal defect
• Patent ductus arteriosus
• Ventricular septal defect

Disorders	Etiology	Clinical Presentation	Laboratory Findings	Electrocardiogram	Echocardiography
Dilated Cardiomyopathy	Idiopathic Myocarditis Substance abuse Connective tissue disease Nutritional deficiencies Infiltrative diseases Toxins.	Lateral displacement of the point of maximal impulse Right ventricular heave S2 at the base S3 gallops Jugular venous distension Peripheral edema	Detecting the cause (such as thyroid function tests, toxicology screening, and genetic counselling) Assessing the cardiac complications of the condition	Left ventricular hypertrophy Atrial fibrillation or premature ventricular complexes Conduction delays, AV nodal block, or left bundle branch block	Ventricular and atrial dilatation Increased left ventricular mass Global reduction in systolic function Focal wall motion abnormalities
