A 53-year-old male status post pacemaker placement three months prior for sinus bradycardia presented with worsening dyspnea, holosystolic murmur, and a ventricular-paced right bundle branch block on electrocardiogram. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a pacer wire in the right atrium coursing into the left atrium and ventricle through an undiagnosed patent foramen ovale. The patient underwent surgical repair and repositioning of the pacemaker lead without complication. Although rare, it should be suspected after recent lead placement.

Accuracy and Reproducibility of a Modified Echocardiographic Method for Right Ventricular Output Calculation in Neonates.

We aimed to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of right ventricular output (RVO) using different anatomical landmarks: the internal pulmonary valve diameter (PVD) between the valve hinge points (hinge-PVD) according to the traditional technique, and PVD between the valve leaflet tips (tip-PVD). This was a retrospective analysis of prospective collected data. All neonates with echocardiographic measurements of RVO and left ventricular output (LVO) without congenital heart disease, including patent ductus arteriosus and patent foramen ovale > 3 mm, were included.

Introduction: Focal atrial tachycardia (FAT) is predominant in the pediatric population. Recent research has identified cases of sustained FAT originating from the interatrial septum (IAS); a subset of cases presents a unique challenge, with foci originating from the peri-patent foramen ovale (peri-PFO), requiring specialized management during catheter ablation. Here, we present a rare case of peri-PFO-associated FAT that resulted in tachycardia-related cardiomyopathy and propose a comprehensive multipath joint strategy for the successful treatment of PFO-associated FAT.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO), a cardiac anatomical anomaly inducing abnormal haemodynamics, leads to a paradoxical bypass of the pulmonary circulation. PFO closure might alleviate migraines; however, clinical evidence and basic experiments for the relationship are lacking. To explore the effect of PFO on migraine, 371 migraineurs finishing blood tests and contrast transthoracic echocardiography for the detection of PFO were prospectively included.

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare clinical condition characterized by dyspnea and hypoxemia during orthostatism, with relief in the supine position. The diagnosis of POS requires a high clinical suspicion, and its etiology stems from the admixture of venous blood, poor in oxygen, with arterial blood via a shunt. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is the most commonly encountered anomaly at the root of POS.

Background: Clinical studies on atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation in patients diagnosed with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and paroxysmal AF (PAF) are scarce. Here, we aimed to develop a nomogram model utilizing multimodal data for the risk stratification of AF recurrence following catheter ablation in individuals diagnosed with PFO and new-onset PAF.
Methods: Patients with PFO and PAF who underwent catheter ablation at the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2018 to June 2020 were consecutively enrolled.
