Overview
Stroke patients with patent foramen ovale may be identified with the crochetage pattern seen on electrocardiogram.
Electrocardiogram
Findings on ECG that may be seen in patients with patent foramen ovale include:[1][2]
- Crochetage pattern: An M-shaped bifid notch on the ascending branch, or on the zenith, of the R wave in inferior ECG leads (II, III, aVF).
- Right bundle branch block (RBBB)
- P wave abnormalities
