Apical four chamber view[1]
"Bubble contrast TTE" involves the injection of agitated saline into a vein, followed by an echocardiographic study. The bubbles are initially detected in the right atrium and right ventricle. If bubbles appear in the left heart, this may indicate a shunt, such as a patent foramen ovale,[2] atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect or arteriovenous malformations in the lungs.[3]
