Differences in clinical and biological factors between patients with PFO-related stroke and patients with PFO and no cerebral vascular events.
Frontiers in neurology(2023)
Abstract
There is little difference between patients with PFO with and without CVEs in terms of PFO size and routine laboratory analyses. While still a controversial topic in the specialty literature, classic first-level thrombophilic mutations are not a risk factor for stroke in patients with PFO. Hypertension and male gender were identified as factors associated with a higher risk of stroke in the setting of PFO.
