ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical features between cryptogenic stoke(CS)with and without right-to-left shunt(RLS)so as to determine whether shunt severity determined by control-enhanced transcranial Doppler(c-TCD)is correlated with the risk of paradoxical embolism(RoPE)score.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of clinical characteristics of 138 CS patients with and without RLS admitted to our department between January 2014 and November 2016.For patients documented by c-TCD,we evaluated whether there was a correlation between RLS severity and RoPE score. RLS was diagnosed by c-TCD and contrast-enhanced transthoracic echocardiography(c-TTE).We compared every modality for detecting RLS with and without Valsalva maneuver.For patients found with RLS in c-TCD and c-TTE,we judged whether there was an agreement in grading RLS between two modalities.Results For patients with CS,shunt severity by c-TCD was positively correlated with RoPE score(r= 0.26,P= 0.05).The clinical features were different between CS patients with RLS and without RLS.Compared with the positive results of c-TCD and c-TTE at rest,the positive rate was higher in Valsalva maneuver,respectively(P<0.01).There was a moderate agreement between shunt grades identified by the two techniques(Kappa=0.428).Conclusion There is a positive correlation between RoPE score and RLS severity determined by c-TCD in CS patients.Valsalva maneuver can significantly increase the positive rate of RLS detected by c-TCD and c-TTE.
