Artificial intelligence (AI) is rarely directly used in patent foramen ovale (PFO) diagnosis. In this study, an AI model was developed to detect the presence of PFO automatically in both contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE) images and videos. The whole intelligent diagnosis neural network framework consists of two functional modules of image segmentation (Unet,  = 1866) and image classification (ResNet 101,  = 9152). Finally, another test databases, including 20 cTTE videos (4609 cTTE images), was used to compare the RLS classification model accuracy between AI model and different levels of physicians. The Dice similarity coefficient of left chamber segmentation model of cTTE images was 91.41%, the accuracy of PFO-RLS classification model of cTTE images was 83.55%, the accuracy of PFO-RLS classification model of cTTE videos was 90%. Besides, the AI diagnosis time was significantly shorter than doctors (at only 1.3 s).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores the connection between different types of patent foramen ovale (PFO) and the occurrence of cryptogenic stroke (CS), finding that PFO morphology affects right-to-left shunt grades and potentially stroke risk.
  • - Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis involving 389 adults with PFO, developing a predictive nomogram based on PFO types and functional parameters, which showed strong predictive ability in identifying stroke risk.
  • - Validation of the nomogram revealed a high area under the curve (AUC) score, indicating its effectiveness, and the analysis demonstrated its practical applicability in clinical settings for assessing PFO-associated stroke risk.

Article Synopsis
  • Right-to-left shunt (RLS) caused by conditions like patent foramen ovale (PFO) and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) can lead to serious health issues, making reliable detection methods important for diagnosis.
  • This study compared the effectiveness of two multimodal ultrasound techniques—TTE plus CTTE and TEE plus CTEE—in identifying PFO and PAVM among patients with cryptogenic stroke or migraine.
  • Results showed that TEE + CTEE had higher diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity (99.1%) than TTE + CTTE (89.4%), with fewer missed diagnoses (12.5% vs. 65.7%), suggesting TEE + CTEE is the

The hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is characterized by arterial oxygenation defect induced by intrapulmonary vascular dilatations in the setting of liver disease. We report a 57-year-old woman with a history of liver cirrhosis presented with progressive cyanosis, exertional dyspnea and a dry cough. Oxyhemoglobin saturation was 88.

Objective: This study aims to comprehensively assess the characteristics of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in relation to Cryptogenic Strok (CS) by utilizing transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and contrast transthoracic echocardiography (c-TTE) and to identify high-risk factors associated with PFO-related CS.

Background: Transcatheter PFO closure has demonstrated its effectiveness in preventing PFO-related CS. Therefore, understanding the specific structural attributes of PFO associated with CS is imperative.
