Abstract:
The diagnostic accuracy of bubble contrast transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and transcranial Doppler sonography in the detection of patent foramen ovale in divers with decompression sickness was assessed. Transcranial Doppler has a better positive and negative predictive value than the other modalities.
