PATENT FORAMEN OVALE, FRIEND OR FOE IN HEART FAILURE PATIENTS?

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019
Foramen ovale, a remnant of the fetal circulation has been shown to remain patent in 25% of our population. We aim to evaluate whether the presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) has a positive impact on selected cardiovascular outcomes in patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF ...

Intracardiac echocardiography in the diagnosis and closure of patent foramen ovale

Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, 2021
P atent foramen ovale (PFO) which is caused by failed fusion of septum primum and septum secundum, is the first leading congenital heart abnormality, affecting about 25% of the general population.

Patent foramen ovale and migraine: an example of heart–brain interaction

Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2008
Several studies have indicated that a relationship exists between patent foramen ovale (PFO) and the incidence of migraine; however, the nature of the relationship and whether PFO closure could be used as a treatment for migraine are controversial. In this Viewpoint, Gian Paolo Anzola lists evidence in support of a relationship between PFO and migraine

Diagnosis and management of restricted or closed foramen ovale in fetuses with congenital heart disease

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004
The incidence of foramen ovale restriction or closure is greater in fetuses with congenital heart defects (CHDs) and obligate atrial shunting and/or left atrial hypertension. Foramen ovale restriction or closure in fetuses with CHD can cause distress in utero or at birth.

Relation Between Inheritance of Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease and Persistent Foramen Ovale

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2009
Cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) usually occurs sporadically, but occasionally it is familial without evidence of Mendelian inheritance. The investigators previously reported an association between dominant inheritance of clinically significant atrial shunts (large persistent foramina ovale and small atrial septal defects) and migraine with ...

Closure of a patent foramen ovale and tricuspid valve replacement after heart transplantation

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
Patent foramen ovale has been noted after cardiac transplantation. Rarely is surgical intervention warranted. In this communication we report a case of severe tricuspid regurgitation and paradoxical embolism secondary to a patent foramen ovale in a patient 19 months after heart transplantation.

Fetal Pulmonary Venous Flow and Restrictive Foramen Ovale in Hypoplastic Left Heart

Ultraschall in der Medizin - European Journal of Ultrasound, 2012
Hypoplastic left heart (HLH) with intact or restrictive interatrial communication (HLH-IAS/RAS) is associated with high mortality rates. The object was to correlate pulmonary venous (PV) Doppler spectra and direct foramen ovale (FO) assessment with the neonatal need for early atrial septostomy (EAS) and neonatal outcome.We reviewed all prenatal ...

Stroke in congenital heart disease and patent foramen ovale.

The Israel Medical Association journal : IMAJ, 2007
Congenital heart disease is usually regarded as an esoteric field of medicine, dealt with primarily by dedicated specialists. However, over the last two decades, increased attention has been given by the medical profession, the media and the general public to the possible association between a minor and common congenital heart defect, namely patent ...
