The correct terminology should be "persistent foramen ovale".
Patent = open
Foramen = hole.
Q: When is a hole not a hole?
A: When it's not open.
(Am I being pedantic?)

Very sad to hear of the sudden death of Dr Andrew Flapan, Consultant Cardiologist in Edinburgh.
As a young doctor he was a major inspiration to me.
Later, I had a great dinner with him at @RCPEdin the night before I gave a lecture.
A great loss 😢

One challenge is the number of tablets that we are now suggesting someone with an acute mi takes home with them? For an out of the blue mi … they already acquire 5-7 meds… can we really think they should have more?
