I'm sorry, you predators cannot be heard over the sound of
how awesome I am. Migraine With Aura Frequency Plays a Role in Risk of Stroke, MI ST. PAUL, Minn -- June 25, 2009 -- Women who have migraines with aura may be more likely to have a stroke or myocardial infarction (MI) than women who don't have the condition, and the association varies by migraine frequency, according to a study published in the June 24 online issue of the journal Neurology. The study found that women with migraine with aura whose migraines occur at least once a week are more than 4 times as likely to have a stroke as women who do not have migraines. Women with migraine with aura who have migraines less than once a month were more than twice as likely to have a MI and nearly twice as likely to have had heart procedures such as coronary artery bypass surgery or angioplasty. In contrast, women who had migraines with aura once a month had no increased risk of stroke or heart problems. "These results should be interpreted with caution, since the number of migraine and migraine features were self-reported and there were relatively low numbers of stroke and heart problems in the large study group," said study author and Tobias Kurth, MD, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts. "Nonetheless, more research is needed to determine how and why these differences occur and whether preventing migraines could reduce the risk of stroke and heart problems." The Women's Health Study involved 27,798 US women health professionals aged 45 years and older. The women had no heart or cerebrovascular problems at the start of the study and were followed for about 12 years. During that time, 706 women (2.5%) had cerebrovascular events, including 305 MIs and 310 strokes. In addition, 655 women had heart procedures such as bypass surgery. Of the 3,568 women with migraine at the start of the study, 75% had migraines less than once a month, 20% had them once a month, and 5% had migraines at least once a week. A total of 1,428 had migraine with aura.

Kruit M, van Buchem M, Launer L, Terwindt G, Ferrari M. Department of Radiology, Leiden University Medical Centre, Leiden, The Netherlands. Previous studies have suggested that migraine is a risk factor for brain lesions, but methodological issues hampered drawing definite conclusions. Therefore, we initiated the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 'CAMERA' (Cerebral Abnormalities in Migraine, an Epidemiological Risk Analysis) study. We summarize our previously published results. A total of 295 migraineurs and 140 controls were randomly selected from a previously diagnosed population-based sample (n = 6039), who underwent an interview, physical examination and a brain MRI scan. Migraineurs, notably those with aura, had higher prevalence of subclinical infarcts in the posterior circulation [odds ratio (OR) 13.7; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.7, 112]. Female migraineurs were at independent increased risk of white matter lesions (WMLs; OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.0, 4.1), and migraineurs had a higher prevalence of brainstem hyperintense lesions (4.4% vs. 0.7%, P = 0.04). We observed a higher lifetime prevalence of (frequent) syncope and orthostatic insufficiency in migraineurs; future research needs to clarify whether autonomic nervous system dysfunction could explain (part of) the increased risk of WMLs in female migraineurs. Finally, in migraineurs aged < 50 years, compared with controls, we found evidence of increased iron concentrations in putamen (P = 0.02), globus pallidus (P = 0.03) and red nucleus (P = 0.03). Higher risks in those with higher attack frequency or longer disease duration were found consistent with a causal relationship between migraine and lesions. This summary of our population-based data illustrates that migraine is associated with a significantly increased risk of brain lesions. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess whether these lesions are progressive and have relevant (long-term) functional correlates. PMID: 19515125 Who loves ya.
