Abstract
The frequency of patent foramen ovale alone or in association with atrial septal aneurysm in patients with cryptogenic stroke aged ≥55 years was similar to that in those aged <55 years, but higher than that in patients aged ≥55 years with stroke of atherosclerotic origin. These data suggest that paradoxical embolism could be a cause of stroke in both age groups.
