A patient with interventricular septal rupture as a complication of myocardial infarction was studied to determine whether varying the concentration of inspired oxygen would alter the magnitude of intracardiac shunt. A significant correlation was found showing that high concentration of inspired oxygen results in increased left to right shunting probably due to systemic vasoconstriction and pulmonary vasodilatation.
