It looks like Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi had a PFO. “If a surgical device called an Amplatzer PFO Occluder was used to plug the hole in Bruschi’s heart, playing football shouldn’t be a risk to the heart . . .
. . . If Bruschi has no neurologic deficits, had the hole closed up with a PFO and isn’t on blood thinners, Thaler said he doesn’t see a ‘likely medical risk’ if Bruschi plays football this season . . .”
I previously speculated on a PFO here.
