Key Points

Diagnosis of eisenmenger's syndrome occurred at 18 years, leading to severe heart complications.
The patient experienced progressive dyspnea and cyanosis, which worsened over the years.
Diagnosis involved atrioventricular septal defect with a common AV valve and ventricular septal defect.
The case highlights significant health risks associated with late-diagnosed congenital heart defects.

Implication

Case report reveals heart failure and pulmonary hypertension in a woman with atrioventricular septal defect, indicating severe progression.

Abstract

Nonspecific atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) diagnosed at 5 months of age, after cardiac arrest. Progressive dyspnea, peripheral cyanosis, with development of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. At 18 years, confirmation of Eisenmenger´s syndrome, (complete AVSD: ASD- ostium primum; inlet ventricular septal defect and common AV valve).
