- Medicine, PsychologyJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry

It is found that ischaemic stroke in people with migraine is strongly associated with migraine with aura, young age, female sex, use of oral contraceptives and smoking habits, and the mechanism behind the migraine-stroke association is unknown.

Migraine and Stroke: “Vascular” Comorbidity
- Medicine, PsychologyFront. Neurol.
- 2014
Current evidence supports a clinical management where MA patients should be screened for other concomitant vascular risk factors and treated accordingly, and there still remains the question as to whether migraine should be considered a true “vascular disease” or if the comorbidity between migraine and cerebrov vascular disease may have underlying shared risk factors or pathophysiological mechanisms.

Coagulation abnormalities in migraine and ischaemic cerebrovascular disease: a link between migraine and ischaemic stroke?
- Medicine, PsychologyNeurological Sciences

Findings suggest a higher frequency of some genetic abnormalities in migraine with aura patients and persistent hypercoagulability may explain the tendency for these patients to develop thromboembolic cerebrovascular events, especially when they are exposed to additional procoagulate stresses.

Increased vigilance is recommended for modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in migraineurs, especially with MA, and it will be important to determine whether MA is a modifiable risk factor for CVD and if preventive medications for migraine or antiplatelet therapy might reduce the risk of CVD in patients with MA.

PMVA was associated with an increased risk of stroke, particularly among women without other medical conditions associated with stroke, and Behavioral risk factors, specifically smoking and oral contraceptive use, markedly increased the risk of PMVA, as did recent onset ofPMVA.

It seems that ischaemia-induced migraine attacks may be more frequent than migraine-induced ischaemic insults, and migraine is not as strong a risk factor for stroke as indicated by the mere coincidence of the two disorders.

In this large, prospective cohort of women, active migraine with aura was associated with increased risk of major CVD, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and death due to isChemic CVD as well as with coronary revascularization and angina.

The data support earlier reports of a relation between ischaemic stroke and migraine with aura, and the risk seems particularly high in those whose initial migraine type involved aura occurring more than 12 times per year.
