Hailey Bieber marks 1 year since mini-stroke

foxnews.com:

Hailey Bieber on Friday marked a year since she suffered a mini-stroke that led to her diagnosis of patent foramen ovale (PFO), meaning she had a hole in her heart. "Can't believe it's been one year since I suffered a mini stroke that led to my PFO diagnosis," Bieber shared on her Instagram story. "Given that it's the one-year mark from such a life-changing event, I wanted to share all the information I've learned about PFO and share resources to donate."  The model and wife of Justin Bieber shared that PFO is the most common type of congenital heart condition, affecting 20% of people "with 60% occurrence among 1st degree relatives," citing information from UCLA Health, where she went after her mini-stroke.

She added that "60% of people who have a stroke without a known cause are likely to have PFO."  "PFO is a passage way between the left and right atria of the heart.

It exists in everyone before birth, but in most people closes after birth but doesn’t close for around one out of every four people," she shared in another slide on her Instagram story.
