Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome have better outcomes than those with other severe pulmonary hypertension etiologies due to preserved right ventricular systolic function.
The right ventricle in Eisenmenger syndrome maintains preserved systolic function despite chronic systemic-level pulmonary hypertension, explaining the relatively better prognosis in these patients.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome do much better than patients with all other etiologies of severe pulmonary hypertension. The primary reason, and a major focus of this review, is the right ventricle, a remarkable chamber with preserved systolic function despite a lifetime of systemic level pulmonary hypertension.
