The interventricular foramen, also known as the foramen of Munro, is not a feature of the heart but rather a passageway in the brain that connects the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle. In the context of the heart, you might be referring to the foramen ovale, which closes shortly after birth as the pressure in the left atrium increases, typically within the first few days to weeks of life. This closure helps to establish normal postnatal circulation. If you meant a different structure, please clarify!

What is it called if the foramen ovale doesn't close at birth?
If the foramen ovale doesn't close at birth, it is called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). This condition can lead to blood flow between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria), which may cause health issues such as stroke or heart failure. Treatment options include medications or a procedure to close the opening.

Name the depression between the two ventricles seen on the anterior surface of the heart?
