Reduced pulmonary vascular bed volume in cryptogenic stroke patients with patent foramen ovale: a myocardial contrast echocardiography study
PVBV is reduced in cryptogenic stroke patients with PFO, and right-to-left shunt level, BSA, and gender were the factors associated with PVBV. Addressing these gaps could enhance the understanding of cardiopulmonary interactions in PFO.
