Does endoscopic PFO closure reduce arterial bubbles? You bet your bippy.+

Makes sense

yes

I'm not surprised.

I don't think anyone is, but now it is evidence based :cool2:

Just a note to remind people that Dr. Denoble and I are still enrolling in our DAN-sponsored PFO study. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, go to Diving Medical Research Projects ? DAN | Divers Alert Network.

Yes thankfully i have access to the best of the best with who i work for and where i work. I work for UT Southwestern. any who my PVC's used to be occasional. then they exploded into very long strings of them back to back. all day long. I would feel sick, tired, faint. They would be ok for a few minutes, then string together for several minutes. quite disturbing. i actually considered going to the ER a few times. Thankfully my cardiologist got me in super quick, same day, and went right to working to help me. At first they hooked me up to the EKG and got a normal reading. as soon as she took it off it started doing the PVC's like crazy. i told her they were doing it again and she quickly hooked me back up and said oh my goodness. The medication and supplement i take keep them at bay as long as i take them. as for my PFO i am all healed up and leaving Monday for my trip to Cabo. sea lions here i come!
