The common risk factors for [[Eisenmenger's syndrome]] include genetic [[Mutation|mutations]], exposure to [[rubella]] virus, and drug and [[alcohol]] abuse during pregnancy. Less common risk factors include poor healthcare access and patients in developing countries.

==Risk Factors==
* Like most congenital heart defects, it is unclear exactly why certain babies are born with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
 
* There is evidence to suggest that families with a history of genetic problems and other [[congenital heart disease]] may be at an increased risk for carrying and expressing the trait.
=== Common Risk Factors ===
* [[Genetic testing]] may be performed to assist you in estimating the likelihood that any future children may be born with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
