I think the chapter on pathogenesis is wrong. In true Eisenmenger's, where the defect is post-tricuspidal, the right ventricle probably never loses it's muscular "neonatal" appearance. It's also probable that the physiologically pulmonary hypertension of the newborn perseveres in a lot of these cases, see: Hopkins WE.
