How is Eisenmenger syndrome diagnosed?

Doctors use several tests to diagnose Eisenmenger syndrome. In addition to a physical exam, your doctor may use:

• Electrocardiogram. Uses small electrodes placed on the chest to measure the heart’s electric activity
• Echocardiogram or cardiac catheterization. Can view the heart from different angles; measures pulmonary artery pressure and oxygen content
• MRI scan. Creates cross sectional images of the structures in the heart
• Blood tests. Measure the number of red blood cells and the amount of oxygen in the blood
