Eisenmenger syndrome is most often a complication of having a hole between two chambers of your heart. Here, a hole between the heart's main pumping chambers (ventricular septal defect) causes increased blood flow to the lungs' arteries.
Eisenmenger syndrome progresses over time as a result of the effects of high blood pressure in the lungs. This high blood pressure, or pulmonary hypertension, occurs because of congenital heart defects that cause blood flow from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart (left-to-right shunt).
Although there's no cure, medications may help you feel better, improve your quality of life and prevent serious complications. Doctors don't recommend surgery to repair the hole in your heart once Eisenmenger syndrome has developed, because any surgery may be life-threatening.
Eisenmenger syndrome is a complication of an uncorrected high-flow, high-pressure congenital heart anomaly leading to chronic pulmonary arterial hypertension and shunt reversal. The three lesions that account for most cases are: ventricular septal defect (VSD) atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD)
Affected Populations Eisenmenger syndrome appears to affect males and females in relatively equal numbers. Individuals with Down syndrome represent between 25-50% of the adult Eisenmenger population.
A left-to-right shunt allows the oxygenated, pulmonary venous blood to return directly to the lungs rather than being pumped to the body. A right-to-left shunt allows the deoxygenated, systemic venous return to bypass the lungs and return to the body without becoming oxygenated.
Eisenmenger syndrome usually develops before puberty, but it may also start manifesting in adolescence and early adulthood. Approximately 8% of patients with congenital heart disease develop Eisenmenger syndrome.
Causes. A number of congenital heart defects can cause Eisenmenger syndrome, including atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, and more complex types of acyanotic heart disease.
ASDs are not commonly associated with Eisenmenger physiology. The morbidity and mortality in ASD-related PAH are due to cardiac complications including heart failure and arrhythmias. Once ES develops, ASD closure is contraindicated.
Gibson in 1900 described PDA continuous systolic and diastolic murmur. With Eisenmenger syndrome, elevated pulmonary pressures cause reversal of the shunt to right-to-left, resulting in loss of the diastolic murmur and a presentation that can mimic primary pulmonary hypertension [1].
But, it does give relief. The most plausible mechanism is the raise in SVR with squatting tilts temporarily a favorable QP/QS as PVR -SVR ratio falls . (Venous return component doesn't operate here as in squatting of TOF) It should be noted squatting is mainly reported only in VSD Eisenmenger..
A shunt is an abnormal communication between the right and left sides of the heart or between the systemic and pulmonary vessels, allowing blood to flow directly from one circulatory system to the other. A right-to-left shunt allows deoxygenated systemic venous blood to bypass the lungs and return to the body.
