Abstract
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is detected in practically healthy individuals in 15-35% of cases. Under normal living conditions, such a deviation is not a serious problem for the patient, but for certain categories it may be a contraindication to various types of activities. For example, the presence of LLC in divers most likely leads to decompression sickness

Keywords: patent foramen ovale, echocardiography, diving medicine, gas embolism
