FAQ

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. If a PFO exists, tiny air bubbles will be seen moving from the right to left side of the heart.

The reported prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the general population is variable. It ranges between 8.6 and 42% ing to the population studied and the imaging technique used.

``In simplistic terms, a PFO is the result of incomplete closure of atrial tissue, whereas an ASD is the result of complete absence of such tissue between the right and left atrial heart chambers.''

In most affected people the defect was a large PFO, but in some there was a secundum ASD or both an ASD and PFO.

PFO/ASD closure is a routine procedure to close holes in the upper chambers of the heart. Before the procedure, you will undergo a cardiovascular imaging test, such as an echocardiogram, to pinpoint the shape and size of the hole and make sure no other defects are present.

Crochetage R wave in ECG is associated with PFO. Crochetage R wave, especially combined with RBBB and TTE, may be helpful in the early detection of patients with PFO. Our study suggested that a patient with crochetage R wave in ECG should undergo TEE with ASC echocardiography to identify PFO.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital atrial septal defect with an incidence of 15–35% in the adult population.

``In simplistic terms, a PFO is the result of incomplete closure of atrial tissue, whereas an ASD is the result of complete absence of such tissue between the right and left atrial heart chambers.''

Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is superior to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the diagnosis of a PFO and delineation of its morphologic details (figs 1 and 2).

CT diagnosis of PFO was defined as (1) a channel-like appearance of the interatrial septum (IAS) and (2) a contrast agent jet flow from the left atrium (LA) to the right atrium (RA). ASD was defined as (1) the IAS resembling a membrane with a hole and (2) a contrast jet flow between the two atria.

There are two types of holes which can be present between the upper chambers of the heart: an Atrial septal defect (ASD) and a patent foramen ovale (PFO). ASD is a birth defect with a gap in the heart's upper wall.This gap happens when the wall does not form right before birth. Generally an ASD hole is larger than a PFO. The larger the hole, the more likely symptoms are. A PFO is similar in location to atrial septal defect (ASD), but it is smaller and rarely causes problems on its own. A Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a small opening between the two upper chambers of the heart, the right and the left atrium.
