Abstract:
Unsuspected intracardiac shunts can be a cause of acute deterioration in critically ill patients. Shunts can be acquired or congenital conditions that become symptomatic only with changed physiologic conditions. Transesophageal echocardiography is an excellent tool for the diagnosis of intracardiac shunts.
