Influence of repetitive open sea dives and physical exercises on right-to-left shunting in healthy divers: Table 1

Abstract

It is speculated that diving-related phenomena, such as variations in right atrial pressures during the end stages of or events immediately after a dive could generate an R/L shunt. However, extreme conditions of repetitive diving and strenuous exercises do not cause permanent modification in R/L permeability over a period of 4 months.
