Eisenmenger syndrome develops in the individuals with expressive defects of heart. People who have Eisenmenger are usually constant with a large hole in the heart. The most current situation in which this occurs when there is a hole (defect) between the two rooms of pumping (ventricles), is called a ventricular septal defect (VSD). The syndrome of Eisenmenger.s progresses result of the effects of hypertension in the lungs. This hypertension, or pulmonary hypertension, occurs because of the congenital defects of heart which cause the flow of blood on the left side of the heart at the good side of the heart (shunt of left on the right).
Eisenmenger syndrome develops while the individuals with defects of heart are the motionless children, but it can occur in adolescence or the young adulthood. Infants supported with a large hole between the ventricles of the heart (ventricular septal defect) or whose arteriosus of ductus is not closed after the birth are with the large risk to develop the syndrome of Eisenmenger. This syndrome affects males and females. Symptoms of the eisenmenger include the brevity of the breath, particularly with the activity, extreme tiredness, the lethargy and fainding, giddiness. The treatment for people with the syndrome of Eisenmenger is aimed ordering symptoms and preventing complications.
Medication is the primary treatment option. Anticoagulants (deluentes of blood) such as aspirin or Coumadin is rarely used. The surgery to repair the defect once the syndrome Eisenmenger has become impossible. The transplant of heart and lung or lung transplantation is options for some people with the syndrome Eisenmenger. The supplemental oxygen can be used during periods of sleep or while reclines. The use of oxygen can progress to continuous use for relief of symptoms. Overexertion and smoking also should be of prostacyclin therapy avoided. Long-term were shown to improve hemodynamics.
