==Overview==
==Overview==
Approximately 1 in every three normal adults have a [[patent foramen ovale]].
Approximately 1 in four healthy adults has a [[patent foramen ovale]]. The [[incidence]] decreases with increasing age, but the size increases with age. It is the most common [[cardiac]] finding in people less than 55 years with an unexplained [[cerebrovascular event]]. It is prevalent in men and women equally and has no racial predilection.

The size increases with increasing age, from a mean of approximately 3mm in the first decade to approximately 6 mm in the 10th decade of life.

Overview

Approximately 1 in four healthy adults has a patent foramen ovale. The incidence decreases with increasing age, but the size increases with age. It is the most common cardiac finding in people less than 55 years with an unexplained cerebrovascular event. It is prevalent in men and women equally and has no racial predilection.
