AI Article Synopsis
- Long-term left-to-right blood flow through a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) can lead to a condition called Eisenmenger syndrome.
- A 27-year-old woman with pulmonary hypertension was evaluated using echocardiography, which revealed Doppler findings indicating a possible reversed PDA.
- The diagnosis was confirmed through additional tests, including a contrast study and computed tomography (CT).
Article Abstract
Long-standing left-to-right shunting across a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) can result in Eisenmenger syndrome. In this report, we present echocardiographic findings of a 27-year-old female patient with pulmonary hypertension. In diagnostic work-up especially Doppler findings of the pulmonary artery suggested the presence of a reversed PDA as a cause of pulmonary hypertension. The diagnosis was confirmed by contrast study and computed tomography.
