Comparative StudyComparison of the hemodynamics and survival of adults with severe primary pulmonary hypertension or Eisenmenger syndrome.
To date, lung or heart-lung transplantation remains the only definitive treatment for most adults with severe primary pulmonary hypertension or Eisenmenger syndrome. Although the hemodynamic derangements and clinical history of adults with severe primary pulmonary hypertension have been well documented, those of adults with Eisenmenger syndrome have not. ⋯ Our data suggest that adults with Eisenmenger syndrome have a more favorable hemodynamic profile and prognosis than adults with primary pulmonary hypertension.
