Right-to-left shunt detection using contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler: A comparison of provocation maneuvers between coughing and a modified Valsalva maneuver

Contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler (c-TCD) has been used to detect right-to-left shunts (RLS) because it is highly sensitive and cost-effective. The use of provocation maneuvers, such as physiologic maneuvers (e.g., coughing) and the Valsalva maneuver (VM) to transiently increase right atrial pr...
