Of Cardiac Holes and Crew Leaders
I enjoyed reading, and learned a lot from, Drs. Dalen and Alpert's article1 on closure of a foramen ovale to prevent cryptogenic stroke. It is a timely review that organizes evidence that, until now, had been somewhat confusing. In the article, the word foramen (from the Latin forare, meaning to pierce or bore a hole) was meant to appear 61 times. Unfortunately, it was mistakenly replaced by the word foremen (from the Dutch voormen, meaning the leaders of work crews, usually men, or the spokesmen for juries) on 27 of the 61 occasions.
