Abstract
Ana Martins Neves, Filipa Ferreira, Helder Pereira
Eisenmenger syndrome is characterized by an elevation of pulmonary pressure to systemic levels caused by an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, with a severe shunt (right-left) or bidirectional shunt. This was a consequence of an uncorrected congenital defect. Its diagnosis is based on the clinical history, symptoms, echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization.
