'Bubble' in Left Ventricle of Heart ?

I have a 'bubble' in the middle wall of my heart, more onto the left ventricle, and I tried to do research but cannot find anything on it, is it anything serious, because I have been having symptoms that have been sending me to emergency quite regurarly.? I am awaiting to see a cardiologist but would like to see if there is anything I can find out before then ,?

The condtion you are referring to is a hole in the wall that separates the left and right venetricals or the upper chambers.  If the condtion is serious, it usually is due to unfiltered blood that should go to the lungs to be oxygenated goes into the left ventricle  and mixes with good oxygenated blood and pumped into circulation. This condition can cause hypoxia (low oxygen count) and the heart cells can be effected causing low cardiac output (worst case scenario).

Usually, it is not serious condtion, and the bubble is the result of an injection and the bubble goes from the right chamber to the left and seen during a test.

Thanks for sharing and if you have any further questions or comments you are welcome to respond.  Take care,

Ken
