Abstract

Objective To collect and analyze data of patent foramen ovale (PFO). Methods 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. Results 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. Conclusion 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.

卵圆孔未闭的特征:单中心分析

目的收集和分析卵圆孔未闭(PFO)的临床资料。方法本研究共纳入260例诊断为PFO的患者。我们分析了基本的临床资料，如性别、年龄、经食管超声心动图以及其他症状。结果我们的数据显示，PFO患者中女性所占比例最高(166例，占64%)，年龄在45 ~ 55岁之间的患者最多(65例)。经食管超声心动图检查显示常出现隧道样解剖结构。此外，PFO还伴有偏头痛、中风或TIA、晕厥、胸闷和心悸等症状，其中头晕是PFO患者最常见的症状。结论我们的数据表明，女性在PFO患者中所占比例最高，年龄在45 - 55岁之间的患者受影响最大。最常见的临床症状是头晕。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。
