- Abstract
Despite being at the extreme spectrum of congenital heart disease-associated pulmonary hypertension, patients with Eisenmenger syndrome have better outcomes compared to other types of pulmonary arterial hypertension, especially in the case of post-tricuspid shunts. This survival advantage seems to be at least partly due to significant resilience of the right ventricle and a relative resistance to failure. This paper aims to review the concept of right ventricular adaptive remodeling in Eisenmenger syndrome, its impact on prognosis and the role of multimodality imaging in the right ventricle's assessment in this setting.
