Yesterday it was announced that the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise defender suffered a stroke.

It was the second of his life, the first dating back to 2014 when he was diagnosed with Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO).

PFO is:

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but most often closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.
