Low sensitivity of the echocardiograph compared with contrast transcranial Doppler in right-to-left shunt
Background: Contrast transcranial Doppler (c-TCD) has a high sensitivity for detecting right-to-left shunt (RLS), and is probably higher than transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and comparable with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of echocardiography (TTE...
