PFO with or without: ASA is a congenital abnormality. You were born with it/them. Your docs must have told you that. If they didn't, they were remiss, but they must have, but for some reason you feel guilty anyway. This is one of those cases where I WOULD have recommended a web search for more info. Usually consulting Dr. Google does more harm than good. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2599987/.
