A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole in the heart that didn't close the way it should after birth. The hole is a small flaplike opening between the upper heart chambers. The upper chambers of the heart are called the atria.
Most PFOs don't need to be closed. Most PFOs cause no symptoms or complications. Larger PFOs may cause stroke. People with symptomatic or large PFOs may benefit from a procedure to close the hole.

It is estimated that 25% - 30% of ischemic strokes are of unknown cause. One possible factor that may have contributed to a stroke of unknown cause is the presence of a patent foramen ovale.
In general, patent foramen ovale doesn't cause symptoms or health complications, but it can increase your risk for developing the following: Migraine headaches. Blood clots. Low oxygen levels (Platypnea orthodeoxia) Shortness of breath and dizziness if you suffer from low oxygen levels.
PFO itself usually does not cause any symptoms. PFO can occasionally result in complications. The most serious of these is stroke. Most people will not need treatment for a PFO.

Definition. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but most often closes shortly after being born.
If you are filing a patent in the US, the law does not require you to have a patent agent or attorney. That said. A patent application is not easy to draft without significant training.
Patent foramen ovale occurs in about 1 in 4 people. Most people with the condition never know they have it. A patent foramen ovale is often discovered during tests for other health problems.
