【摘要】Objective To analyze the clinical and transthoracic echocardiography characteristics of aged patients with patent foramen ovale(PFO). Methods Clinical and transthoracic echocardiography characteristics of 8 aged patents with PFO were analyzed. Results Different degrees of cardiac insufficiency were observed in the aged PFO patients. Most of the patients were complicated with cardiac insufficiency,atrial fibrillation,enlargement of left and right atria and left ventricle, pulmonary artery hypertension,and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction. The PFO was absent or indistinct in 4 patients with improvement of their condition after treatment. Color Doppler blood flow frequency spectrum showed the blood flow from the left to the right in PFO of the 8 patients and bidirectional flow in 3 patients when their condion was aggravated. The diame- ? Ter of PFO was 3 - 4 cm. Four patients died in hospital due to severe lung infection and 4 were still alive and on treatment at the time when we wrote this paper. Conclusion Aged patients with PFO are uniquely characterized. Most of them are complicated with cardiac insufficiency,atrial fibrillation, heart enlargement, and pulmonary artery hypertension, blood flow from left
