Foramen ovale funktion

Hem / Hälsa & Välmående / Foramen ovale funktion

Clinical significance

In some cases, foramen ovale may fail to close properly after birth, leading to a condition called patent foramen ovale (PFO).[3] PFO is a common cardiac abnormality that occurs in about 25% of the population. Since the exact blood supply of the heart varies between individuals, the assumption is that the right and left coronary arteries contribute blood for the interatrial tissue to varying degrees among people. 

Blood gets drained from the heart by cardiac veins that meet at the coronary sinus on the posterior end of the heart and funnel into the right atrium.

Nerves

Regarding the conduction pathway of cardiac action potentials, neurons that originate from the sinoatrial node pass through and along the interatrial septum to the atrioventricular node.

Solch ein „gekreuzter“ Embolus kann so auch ins Gehirn gelangen und einen Schlaganfall auslösen. Bei medizinischen Anliegen und zur Klärung weiterer Fragen ist daher stets ein/e Arzt/Ärztin aufzusuchen.

In some adults, patent foramen ovale may result in an interatrial, right-to-left shunting of deoxygenated blood and the potential for shunting venous (more...)

A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) can detect a right to left shunt with bubble contrast. Blood oxygenated at the placenta is shunted away from the pulmonic circulation via this structure as the lungs are collapsed and not functioning and bathed in amniotic fluid.[1] When born, the ventilatory efforts by the neonate expand the lung resulting in an acute dramatic decrease in the intrathoracic pressure and permits a greater flux of blood to perfuse the pulmonary vessels.

Embryology

During heart development, the atria are separated from one another by the formation of an interatrial septum.

Verschwindet es jedoch nach der Geburt nicht, kann es für den Erwachsenen gesundheitliche Risiken bergen.

Location

Foramen ovale is located in the interatrial septum, which is the wall that separates the left and right atria of the heart. It is present in the fetal stage of human development and serves as an important structure in fetal circulation.

Abnormalities in the development and closure of the foramen ovale can lead to blood flow irregularities.
