About 25 percent of the U.S. population may have a patent foramen ovale, or a "hole in the heart," which can increase a person's likelihood of having a stroke or heart attack.This condition results from the incomplete closure of the heart's atrial septum. Local cardiologists perform a specialized cardiac procedure to seal up the hole using an implant device. Visit www.IchooseValleyHealthSystem.com and click on Hospitals to select Valley Hospital.
