@BirkhoelzerS Clinical science on the move!!!

[Derek Connelly @ProfDConnelly]

The correct terminology should be "persistent foramen ovale".
Patent = open
Foramen = hole.
Q: When is a hole not a hole?
A: When it's not open.

(Am I being pedantic?)

[Prof Derek Connolly @DrDerekConnolly]

Very sad to hear of the sudden death of Dr Andrew Flapan, Consultant Cardiologist in Edinburgh.

As a young doctor he was a major inspiration to me.

Later, I had a great dinner with him at @RCPEdin the night before I gave a lecture.

A great loss 😢
