When you're seeking information on Adults With Patent Foramen Ovale and don’t have the time to devote to finding the correct and updated version, the process can be overwhelming.
A patent foramen ovale is an opening that some adults have between the top two chambers of their hearts. Everyone has this opening early in life, but it often seals during infancy. In some people, though, it doesn't. Researchers do not currently understand why some close and others don't.
But, in most infants, this small hole naturally closes very soon after birth. But in some cases, it does not. It's a normal finding in children but not in adults.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is when you have a small flap or opening between the upper right and left chambers (atria) of your heart. Everyone has this opening, called a foramen ovale, before birth. In most people, this closes after birth. Patent foramen ovale occurs when the flap still exists after birth.
Patent foramen ovale occurs in about 1 in 4 people. Most people with the condition never know they have it.
This condition is not treated unless there are other heart problems, symptoms, or if the person had a stroke caused by a blood clot to the brain. Treatment most often requires a procedure called cardiac catheterization, which is performed by a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.
