Abstract

Eisenmenger syndrome is a rare and complex condition that arises as a result of certain congenital heart defects. It is characterized by the reversal of blood flow within the heart, leading to severe pulmonary hypertension and subsequent heart failure. Managing this condition requires a multi-disciplinary approach, and early detection is crucial to improve the patient's quality of life. In this article, we discuss the case of a 20-year-old male who presented with symptoms of breathlessness on exertion and was diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome.
