I just got my PFO tested the other day and glad to say that I do not have one. That was the best news and glad that I do not have to have that test again. From what I understand there are a couple of ways to get tested, hopefully the other way is better then the way I got tested. The doctors did a good job themselves but I was not so enthused with having a hose the size of a garden hose shoved down my throat. It was a uncomfortable feeling, making you want to throw up and such. I will go when he gets his down and will let you know which way to get it done.

Bruce had his PFO tested by TEE (echocardiogram). According to some cardiologists in Thailand, it looks like MRI is also a very reliable way to test for a PFO.. and a much nicer technique
. If it's proved to be true, I'll rather go that way. It costs roughly the same and I don't like "the garden hose in my throat".
Cheers
