Eisenmenger Complex treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Eisenmenger complex is a complication of some uncorrected congenital heart defects, in which an abnormal communication between the heart's chambers causes, over time, very high pressure in the arteries of the lungs and reverses the direction of blood flow.

Common symptoms: bluish discoloration of the lips and nails, shortness of breath on exertion, fatigue, palpitations, and dizziness.

How does it originate? It arises when a heart defect present from birth allows abnormal passage of blood over years, progressively damaging the circulation of the lungs.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the professional who evaluates and follows up on this complex condition. Those born with a heart defect benefit from regular monitoring with this specialist to watch for the possible appearance of Eisenmenger complex and to address symptoms in time.
