Overview
Eisenmenger's syndrome is causes by cardiac defects that shunt blood heading to the systemic circulation back into the pulmonary circulation. These defects include ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, atrioventricular canal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and truncus arteriosus.
Causes
Eisenmenger's syndrome is caused by a defect in the heart, which allows oxygenated blood to flow back into the pulmonary circulation, instead of going out to the systemic circulation. Cardiac defects that can lead to Eisenmenger's syndrome include:
Common Causes
- Atrioventricular canal defect
- Atrial septal defect
- Cyanotic heart disease
- Patent ductus arteriosus
- Truncus arteriosus
