The patient presented again in 2021 with right facial paresthesia and arm weakness. Repeat echocardiograms did not show recurrence of a myxoma. The patient’s past medical history was pertinent for bilateral occlusion of the femoral and popliteal arteries, with workup revealing a left atrial myxoma that was surgically resected in 2005.

Our previous research revealed that PFO shunt enables the accumulation of homocysteine in circulation (Deng, Neurology 2021). Residual shunt post PFO closure was assessed using transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) with saline contrast. However, the mechanism underlying this association remains poorly understood.

For instance, the average waiting time for an echocardiogram at Turin’s Molinette Hospital was 31 days in 2016 and an even longer 53 days for a Holter ECG. The Covid-19 emergency in 2021 accelerated the regulatory shift by highlighting the need not to overload hospital structures as well as the opportunities offered by digital healthcare.

It is reasonable to perform an echocardiogram to evaluate LV function.
