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, and ventricular septal defect.

Disorders	Etiology	Clinical Presentation	Laboratory Findings	Electrocardiogram	Echocardiography
Idiopathic Pulmonary Hypertension	Unknown, but possible reasons may include Connective tissue disease Liver cirrhosis Anorexic and alpha-adrenergic stimulants [cocaine/amphetamine] HIV infection	Dyspnea Recurrent syncope Fatigue Chest pain Cough Hemoptysis	Positive antinuclear antibody assay Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody Anti-topoisomerase antibody Thyrotropin: screen thyroid disorders Elevated BNP and N-terminal BNP.	Right axis deviation Right ventricular hypertrophy ST depression T-wave inversion	Flattening of the intraventricular septum during systole & diastole Right ventricular hypertrophy Reduced right ventricular function Tricuspid regurgitation
