Whole in my Heart

On Friday I am having a Heart monitor put on for 3 days for my heart. After my stroke, I had TOE procedure to check on my heart and it was found that I had a small hole in my heart from when I was in my mother's womb and the umbilical cord didn't repair, so I have had this all my life and never knowing about it. The Neurologist is not sure why I had a stroke, so he is eliminating what could have caused it. Possibility my fractured sternum after everything else is checked??

I see posts about repairing the heart and would just like to hear more about this because my neurologist is not sure yet if he will do that.

That’s what caused my stroke. 30% of the population have a PFO.

im on the waiting list for surgery to have this closed with a cardiologist
