Abstract
The number of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension related to congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) seen in specialist centers continues to increase. The extreme end of the spectrum, namely Eisenmenger's syndrome, is further compromised with chronic cyanosis and multiorgan disease, In this review we present the current knowledge on definition, prevalence, pathophysiology, classification, diagnosis, and treatment of this entity that has great impact on CHD patients’ life.
