"Can't believe it's been one year since I suffered a mini-stroke that led to my PFO diagnosis," wrote Bieber, who reshared a video from April 2022 in which she first opened up about the health scare.
"Given that it's the one-year mark from such a life-changing event, I wanted to share all the information I've learned about PFO and share resources to donate," she said. The 26-year-old went on to provide statistics and helpful resources about PFO from UCLA Health, sharing two infographics to her Instagram Stories.
Bieber noted that PFO is"the most common congenital heart defect, affecting 20% of all people, with 60% occurrence among 1st degree relatives." She added that 60% of those who suffer a stroke"without a known cause" are"likely" to have a patent foramen ovale. The rhode founder also shared that PFO"is a passage way between the left and right atria of the heart," and"exists in everyone before birth." While it closes for"most people" after they are born, the"flap does not close" for"around one in four people." Bieber added that"PFO is what we call the passage way when the flap fails to close." She also shared a link for those who want to donate to UCLA's PFO Closure Research Fund.
