Patent foramen ovale , a hole between the left and right atria of the heart, is known to be a cause of stroke in young adults.The purpose of this working group was to review and provide analysis on the status and progress of research and clinical activities intended to mitigate the risk of PFO and DCS issues during spaceflight.
What are potential risk reduction measures that could be considered if a person was believed to be at increased risk of DCS due to a PFO?
