Abstract
Background:
A 42-year-old man with no cardiovascular risk factors or history was admitted for evaluation of an episode of transient ischaemic attack (TIA). He had no cardiovascular risk factors and his physical examination was unremarkable.
Investigation:
Physical examination, electrography, transesophageal echocardiogram, coronary angiogram.
Diagnosis:
Intrapulmonary shunting, in the presence of arteriovenous malformations, possible hereditary haemorrhagic telangectasia.
