Re: [PFOSupport] Hello to group

Hi there,
My PFO was diagnosed by a bubble echo and then an TEE bubble echo.  I'm not sure if the doppler is the best diagnostic tool.  Anyhow, my PFO got closed because I have a history of 2 strokes.  I don't think that the FDA is in favor of closing them in people who haven't had strokes.  Are you connected with a research study that is doing the closures?

It's good to know others have my same concerns. It would be great if
this whole connection pans out in a fix.

One of the things that you can do now, to prevent stroke is take a vaso-dialator as a preventive for the migraine auras. I take Verapamil, 480 mg sustained...

I just had a PFO closure using the Cario Seal. I had two migranes this weekend, and I had auras with these migranes. I wouldn't say that PFO closures are an...

Hi Denise, I hope that you are feeling better today. It took about 2-3 months for my heart palps and auras to calm down. It's just a side effect of the heart...
