Overview
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.
