A bubble echocardiogram (echo), also called a bubble saline contrast echo or bubble study, is a non-invasive test that looks at your heart.
Unlike a normal echocardiogram (heart ultrasound), a bubble echo uses an injection of saline (mixed with your blood to form small bubbles) to identify a hole in the heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
