Bedside agitated saline test confirming diagnosis of anomalous right superior caval vein draining into the left atrium.

Cardiology was called to review a neonate with cyanosis at 6 hours of life. The oxygen saturations averaged 70% at baseline with no preductal and postductal difference. No cardiac murmurs were heard, but the chest X-ray showed an enlarged heart. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) demonstrated a small patent arterial duct and a patent oval foramen, both with left-to-right flow across. TTE also showed dilatation of the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV) (figure 1A), suggesting increased flow to the left—heart (figure 1B). The atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial connections were normal. Figure 1 Image panel outlining the diagnostic approach to the echocardiographic evaluation of the patient. …
