To collect and analyze data of patent foramen ovale (PFO).
This study included a total of 260 patients diagnosed with PFO. We analyzed basic clinical data such as sex, age, transesophageal echocardiography as well as other symptoms.
Our data showed that females accounted for the highest proportion of PFO (166 females, 64%), with the highest number of patients (65 patients) having between 45 and 55 years. Transesophageal echocardiography examination demonstrated frequent occurrence of tunnel-like anatomical structures. In addition, PFO was associated with symptoms such as migraine, stroke or TIA, syncope, chest tightness, and palpitations, with dizziness being the most common symptom in the patients with PFO.
Our data demonstrated that females accounted for the highest proportion of PFO patients, with those aged between 45 and 55 years being most affected. The most frequently encountered clinical symptom was dizziness. Taken together, these findings may help doctors to better understand and screen for PFO patients.
收集并分析卵圆孔未闭(PFO)的数据。
本研究共纳入260例诊断为PFO的患者。我们分析了性别、年龄、经食管超声心动图等基本临床数据以及其他症状。
我们的数据显示,女性在PFO患者中占比最高(166例女性,占64%),45至55岁的患者人数最多(65例)。经食管超声心动图检查显示隧道样解剖结构频繁出现。此外,PFO与偏头痛、中风或短暂性脑缺血发作、晕厥、胸闷和心悸等症状相关,头晕是PFO患者中最常见的症状。
我们的数据表明,女性在PFO患者中占比最高,45至55岁的人群受影响最大。最常出现的临床症状是头晕。综上所述,这些发现可能有助于医生更好地了解和筛查PFO患者。
