Overview
Eisenmenger's syndrome or Eisenmenger's reaction is defined as the process in which a left-to-right shunt in the heart causes increased flow through the pulmonary vasculature, which leads to pulmonary hypertension, which finally causes increased pressures in the right side of the heart and reversal of the shunt into a right-to-left shunt.
Etymology
Eisenmenger's syndrome was so named[1] by Dr. Paul Wood after Dr. Victor Eisenmenger, who first described[2] the condition in 1897.
