“…In addition to RV dysfunction, echocardiography can identify right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale and the presence of right heart thrombi, both of which are associated with increased mortality in patients with acute PE [67,158]. A patent foramen ovale also increases the risk of ischaemic stroke due to paradoxical embolism in patients with acute PE and RV dysfunction [182,183].…”

“…Several studies have found that embolism caused by PFO is related to the size and shunt volume of PFO [29,30] . The larger the diameter of PFO, the greater the shunt volume, and the higher the probability of cerebral embolism [31] .…”

“…All strokes were observed in patients with PFO (4 of 19 patients), whereas no cerebral incident was noticed in subjects with excluded PFO (21% vs 0%, p=0.02). Moreover, all stroke episodes were detected in patients with PFO and RVD (right ventricular dysfunction), while none of patients with PFO and preserved RV function (50% vs 0%, p=0.038) [16].…”
