Pulmonary Hypertension
• Pulmonary
hypertension
is a common
accompanimen
t of many
congenital
cardiac
lesions.
• The status of the pulmonary vascular bed is
often the principal determinant of the clinical
manifestations, the course, and whether
corrective treatment is feasible.
• Pulmonary thromboembolism in 10 %
• Angina in 10 %
• Syncope in 10 %
• Endocarditis in 10 %
Causes of death in the
Eisenmenger
• Sudden death (30%)
• Congestive heart failure (25%)
• Pulmonary hemorrhage (15 %)
• Infectious causes (Infective endocarditis, Brain
abscesses)
• Pregnancy (is contraindicated in patients with
Eisenmenger)
• Non cardiac surgery
• Therapy in Eisenmenger
In general, an approach of non-intervention has
traditionally been recommended.
• Flu shots and pneumococcal vaccine.
• Iron replacement
• Antiarrhythmic management of atrial arrhythmias,
• Diuretics for right-sided heart failure.
• Supplemental oxygen has been shown to have no
impact on exercise capacity or on survival.
