Pulmonary hypertension due to congenital heart disease continues to be a diagnostic challenge despite modern diagnostic modalities. Herein, we report a 26-year-old woman with an incidentally documented patent ductus arteriosus and Eisenmenger syndrome. She presented with progressive dyspnea and exercise intolerance which was initially attributed to pulmonary embolus. She was started on macitentan and tadalafil therapy aiming to reduce the pulmonary vascular resistance with consideration for heart-lung transplantation should any further deterioration occur.
尽管有现代诊断手段,但先天性心脏病所致的肺动脉高压仍然是一个诊断难题。在此,我们报告一名26岁女性,偶然发现存在动脉导管未闭及艾森曼格综合征。她表现为进行性呼吸困难和运动不耐受,最初被归因于肺栓塞。她开始接受马西替坦和他达拉非治疗,旨在降低肺血管阻力,并考虑到若病情进一步恶化则进行心肺移植。
