Myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke are common acute conditions that regularly present as an emergency to hospital. Paradoxical embolism is a recognised complication of patent foramen ovale (PFO), and the literature shows that it can cause ischaemic stroke or, less frequently, acute MI. Ischaemic stroke and MI occurring simultaneously has a wide differential diagnosis, which should include a PFO, especially when occurring in young patients.
心肌梗死(MI)和中风是常见的急性病症,经常以急症的形式到医院就诊。反常栓塞是卵圆孔未闭(PFO)的一种公认并发症,文献表明它可引起缺血性中风,或较少见地引起急性 MI。同时发生的缺血性中风和 MI 具有广泛的鉴别诊断,其中应包括 PFO,特别是在年轻患者中发生时。
