Overview
Approximately 1 in every three normal adults have a patent foramen ovale.[1] The incidence decreases with increasing age, but the size increases with age. There is no difference in the incidence associated with gender.
Epidemiology and Demographics
-Incidence=
The incidence of Patent foramen ovale has been found to be approximately 30% in different studies.[1]
Age
The incidence of a patent foramen ovale varies with age:[2]
- 0-30 years: 34.3%
- 40-80 years: 25.4%
- 90+ years: 20.2%
PFO size increases with age, from a mean of approximately 3mm in the first decade to approximately 6 mm in the 10th decade of life. [2]
Size
The size of patent foramen ovale might ranges from 1 to 19 mm. However, in most cases it has been found to vary from 1 to 10 mm in diameter. PFO size increases with age, from a mean of approximately 3mm in the first decade to approximately 6 mm in the 10th decade of life. [2]
Gender
There is no significant difference in size or incidence associated with gender.
