Normal Bubble Study

When agitated saline is injected into the venous system, it opacifies the right atrium and ventricle. None should make it through to the left side of the heart. If bubbles appear on the left immediately, it is indicative of an intracardiac shunt, while bubble that appear within a few heartbeats are consistent with an intrapulmonary shunt. Neither are seen in this TTE loop.
