History of Severe Headache Linked to Increased Risk for White Matter Lesions in the Elderly
Migraine Linked to Increased Heart Attack Risk “The incidence of heart attacks in people with migraine is almost double that of people who don't suffer the headaches, according to a report in the Feb. 10 online edition of Neurology by a group including Dr. Richard B. Lipton, a professor of neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.”
Migraine Sufferers Have Higher Risk of Dying from Heart Disease and Stroke, Research Finds
Study confirms link between migraines and stroke “People who suffer migraines are about twice as likely as people without the painful headaches to suffer a stroke caused by a blood clot, a new research review finds. The analysis, which combined the results of 21 previous studies, confirms a connection between migraines and ischemic stroke -- the most common form of stroke, occurring when a clot disrupts blood flow to the brain. Across the studies, migraine sufferers were about twice as likely to suffer an ischemic stroke as people without migraines, according to findings published in the American Journal of Medicine.”
