Patent foramen ovale (PFO)

 

Pfo

"PFO" stands for Patent Foramen Ovale. It's a common condition where a small hole in the heart, which is present at birth, fails to close properly after birth. This hole usually closes on its own, but in some people, it remains open. It typically doesn't cause any symptoms or problems, but in rare cases, it can lead to complications such as strokes or migraines.
