Cardiovascular and Diving-Related Complications
Cardiovascular and Diving-Related Complications is a research topic within Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine. Science Explorer counts 23k research works in it since 1950. 9.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the association between patent foramen ovale (PFO) and cerebrovascular events, including cryptogenic stroke and paradoxical embolism. It explores the effectiveness of transcatheter closure, medical therapy, and the risk factors associated with PFO, such as migraine and thrombus formation. Additionally, it discusses the management of neurological events and decompression illness in relation to PFO.
