Arpita Saxena, Trilok Chand, S.K.Arya, Apurva Mittal and Parimal

Eisenmenger's syndrome is defined as the process in which a left-to-right shunt caused by a congenital heart defect causes increased flow through the pulmonary vasculature, causing pulmonary hypertension which causes increased pressures in the right side of the heart and reversal of the shunt into a right-to-left shunt. It can occur with complex congenital cardiac malformations, septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Patients with Eisenmenger’s syndrome are at high risk for peripartum morbidity and mortality.
