Four families with three generations, 14 families with two generations, and two sibships were studied. The contrast echocardiograms were performed blind to history of migraine. A consultant neurologist, who was blinded to cardiac findings, categorised migraine symptoms in subjects.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The occurrence of atrial shunts was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance. Usually shunts were large PFOs, but in some cases they were ASDs. There was also evidence that inheritance of more complex congenital heart disease may be related to the inheritance of PFOs. When the proband had migraine with aura and an atrial shunt, 15 of the 21(71.4%) first degree relatives with a significant right to left shunt also had migraine with aura compared with three of 14 (21.4%) without a significant shunt (p &lt;\u200a0.02).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> There is dominant inheritance of atrial shunts.
