Overview
Risk Factors
- Like most congenital heart defects, it is unclear exactly why certain babies are born with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
- There is evidence to suggest that families with a history of genetic problems and other congenital heart disease may be at an increased risk for carrying and expressing the trait.
- Genetic testing may be performed to assist you in estimating the likelihood that any future children may be born with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
- During pregnancy, expectant mothers exposed to rubella may have an increased risk in having a baby with a heart defect.
- Drug and alcohol exposure during pregnancy can also harm the fetus during development and result in potential birth defects.
