Eisenmenger Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Eisenmenger disease is a condition of the heart and lungs that develops from an untreated congenital heart defect, in which the abnormal passage of blood raises the pressure in the pulmonary arteries over the years and eventually reverses the direction of flow.
Common symptoms: bluish coloring of the skin, lips, and nails, fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, and dizziness.
How does it arise? It develops when an abnormal connection between the heart's chambers, present from birth, overloads the lungs' circulation for a long time.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist and, in childhood, the pediatric cardiologist are the professionals who evaluate and monitor this disease. People with a congenital heart condition benefit from regular checkups with these specialists to detect Eisenmenger disease in time.
