An echocardiogram can be done to diagnose a PFO. If the PFO is not easily seen, a cardiologist can perform a "bubble test." Saline solution (salt water) is injected into the body as the cardiologist watches the heart on an ultrasound (echocardiogram) monitor.

An echocardiogram can be done to diagnose a PFO. If the PFO is not easily seen, a cardiologist can perform a "bubble test." Saline solution (salt water) is injected into the body as the cardiologist watches the heart on an ultrasound (echocardiogram) monitor.

A patent foramen ovale may be difficult to confirm on a standard echocardiogram. Your provider may recommend this test to get a closer look at the heart. A transesophageal echocardiogram takes pictures of the heart from inside the body. It's considered the most accurate way to diagnose a patent foramen ovale.

Everyone has them at birth, but the hole usually closes. PFOs that do not close are common, and found in 1 of every 4 adults. PFOs are more likely in newborns who have a congenital heart defect.

Conclusions: The finding of an ECG crochetage pattern may help to identify stroke patients with PFO, may help to streamline their diagnostic workup, and may warrant future studies to determine its value in stratifying stroke risk in patients with PFO.

How is patent foramen ovale treated? Antiplatelet medicines such as aspirin, to help prevent blood clots. Anticoagulant medicines such as warfarin, to help prevent blood clots. Closure of the PFO with a catheter-based procedure. Closure of the PFO during heart surgery.

For those patients who need or want to avoid PFO, the panel judged anticoagulation the best alternative, although the evidence regarding stroke reduction was of low certainty. The risk of major bleeding probably increased with anticoagulation.

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.

Treatment. 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.
