Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the connection between patent foramen ovale (PFO), a right to left shunt, and cryptogenic stroke in patients aged 60 and older, comparing it to known causes of stroke.
- - Researchers used contrast-enhanced bubble Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography to examine 172 patients (86 aged 60+) and found a higher prevalence of PFO in those with cryptogenic strokes versus those with known causes.
- - Results indicate that PFO is significantly associated with cryptogenic strokes in older patients, and the bubble-cTCD method is suggested as a reliable first-line detection technique for PFO in this age group.
