Eisenmenger Syndrome treatment in Monterrey

Eisenmenger syndrome is a complication of certain untreated congenital heart defects, in which the elevated pressure in the arteries of the lungs causes blood to flow in the reverse of the normal direction within the heart.

Common symptoms: shortness of breath, bluish color of the skin and lips, marked fatigue, palpitations, and, at times, fainting.

When to see a doctor? Those living with a congenital heart disease should maintain follow-up and consult if the symptoms change.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, along with the pediatric cardiologist and the pediatrician in children, coordinates care, and the vascular surgeon may join in when necessary. Having these professionals accompany you makes a difference in follow-up.
