High-density contrast echocardiography for patent foramen ovale assessment: sensitivity and relationship with invasively measured shunt severity and atrial septum morphology

Abstract Background Transthoracic contrast echocardiography (cTTE) is a first-line method for patent foramen ovale (PFO) assessment, but its sensitivity is reported as low and inconsistent. We aimed to investigate the sensitivity of high-density cTTE for PFO detection, and the relationship between l...
