The human heart is a marvel of biological engineering, but it’s not without its imperfections. One-third of the population has a little-known, minor heart condition, a tiny hole known as a patent foramen ovale or PFO. Professor of Human Physiology Andrew Lovering will discuss the research around this defect at the next Quack Chats pub talk, titled “The ‘Hole’ Story of Cardiovascular Physiology & Medicine." The event is free and open to the public. Food and drink are available for purchase.
