In patients with a left-to-right shunt, it is expected that the contrast ma
## Abstract Routine use of the hydrogen platinum electrode system (HPES) in 1,375 consecutive cardiac catheterizations facilitated shunt detection in 171 patients, led to the diagnosis of unsuspected shunts in 18 patients, and was of particular value in accurately localizing unusual leftβtoβright s
