What Is PFO, And How Does It Cause Stroke? - Stroke Support Channel
What Is PFO, And How Does It Cause Stroke? Have you ever wondered how certain conditions in the heart can impact your risk of stroke? In this informative video, we'll explain what a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is and how it can influence your health. We'll start by describing the structure of the heart and what a PFO means, including how it develops and why it sometimes remains open after birth. We'll discuss how this small opening can allow blood clots to bypass the lungs' filtering system and reach the brain, potentially causing a stroke. You'll learn about the symptoms, detection methods like echocardiograms, and what doctors look for during diagnosis. We’ll also cover the different management options available, from medication to procedures like PFO closure, aimed at reducing the risk of future strokes. Whether you or someone you know has experienced a stroke or are simply interested in heart health, understanding the role of a PFO is essential.
