1. What do we know so far and what do we not know?
We know that paradoxical embolism due to patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a potential cause of cerebral infarction. The conventional Valsalva maneuver has shown good sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value for diagnosing PFO on contrast transthoracic echocardiography . However, both patients and examiners often struggle to determine if sufficient loading has been achieved. Compared to the conventional Valsalva maneuver, a party balloon maneuver method developed by us has been shown to be more visible and effective for patients with insufficient loading . Additionally, the balloon maneuver has been successfully used to induce left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who cannot perform the conventional maneuver . However, there is currently no standardized protocol for the party balloon maneuver, leading to variations in balloon size, inflation method, and contrast agent infusion timing among examiners and institutions.
2. What are we trying to clarify?
The purpose of this study is to develop an optimal protocol of conditions and methods for performing the party balloon maneuver most effectively.
3. What is to be gained from this?
It is hoped that the optimal protocol developed in this study will facilitate the widespread adoption of the party balloon maneuver as a diagnostic method for PFO and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Efficacy
Basic Measurement of Balloons
Using several commercially available balloons of various sizes, measure the lateral diameter of the inflated balloons using calipers. Additionally, measure the air pressure of each balloon with an air pressure gauge to determine the optimal balloon size and degree of inflation for the load.
Transthoracic Echocardiography
Healthy adult volunteers will be included in the study. Two experienced physicians (one male and one female) specializing in echocardiography will use transthoracic echocardiography in the left lateral position in the Physiology Laboratory of the Central Laboratory of our institution. The hemodynamic effects of the party balloon maneuver were investigated using the protocol obtained from Experiment 1. This was compared to rest and the Valsalva maneuver (VM) using transthoracic echocardiography. Right ventricular inflow-velocity time integral (RV inflow-VTI) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd) were measured during and after the maneuver to assess changes in venous return. The various measurements were analyzed offline with images acquired after the examination.
