A member asked:
My echo says i have a "possible small interatrial septal aneurysm or patent foramen ovale." what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually nothing: A small patent foramen ovale is one of the most common and minor cardiac anomalies. Most people do not know they have one as in the vast majority there are no symptoms. This defect has been rarely related to migraines and strokes, but these are so uncommon that the condition is not treated unless there is a problem. The term aneurysm relates to the tissue of the atrial septum and is not risky.
