Overview
Echocardiography is the first line diagnostic modality of Eisenmenger's syndrome. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of Eisenmenger's syndrome include underlying cardiac lesion responsible for the shunt, direct of the shunt, and elevated right ventricular systolic and pulmonary artery diastolic pressures.
Eisenmenger’s syndrome echocardiography
Echocardiography is the first line diagnostic modality for Eisenmenger's syndrome. The following findings can be delineated:
- Underlying cardiac defect.
- Direction of intracardiac blood flow.
- Quantification of right ventricle and pulmonary artery pressures
- Coexisting structural abnormalities
