Eisenmenger Physiology
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Eisenmenger physiology describes the set of changes that occur in the heart and lungs when an uncorrected congenital heart defect leads, over time, to very high pressure in the pulmonary arteries and reverses the flow of blood.
Common symptoms: shortness of breath, bluish discoloration of the skin and lips, fatigue, and palpitations.
When to see a doctor? Follow-up is advisable in people with congenital heart disease who notice a decline in their tolerance for exertion.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, and in children the pediatric cardiologist along with the pediatrician, follow this condition, with support from the vascular surgeon when needed. Evaluating the case with them is the most prudent course.
