The shunt usually is left-to-right because of the pressure gradient between the left (high pressure) and right (low pressure) atrium.
Examples of right-to-left cardiac shunts include: Double outlet right ventricle. Eisenmenger syndrome. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS).
If a PFO exists, tiny air bubbles will be seen moving from the right to left side of the heart.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) with right-to-left shunt has a prevalence of 10% to 34% in the general population.
