Overview
Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Eisenmenger's syndrome. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of Eisenmenger's syndrome include underlying cardiac lesion responsible for the shunt, direct of the shunt, and elevated right ventricular systolic and pulmonary artery diastolic pressures.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
Echocardiography is the first line imaging modality of Eisenmenger's syndrome. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of Eisenmenger's syndrome include:
- Underlying cardiac lesion responsible for the shunt (e.g. ASD or VSD).
- Direct of the shunt (left-to-right or right-to-left).
- Elevated right ventricular systolic pressure.
- Elevated pulmonary artery diastolic pressure.
