A member asked:
My cardiologist found a small hole in my heart patent foremen ovale. do i need to start an aspirin regimen?

I wouldn't make such a recommendation without knowing your full history/exam and other testing. I would have a conversation with the Cardiologist about getting the hole closed through a catheter procedure since it makes you at risk of a stroke.
