Frequent migraines can clarify the risk of stroke

Women who are concerned about a migraine every week are more prone to stroke than those whose attacks occur less frequently or not occur at all. Women with rare cases of migraine are more prone to heart attacks, say scientists. Scientists have the study, which was attended by 27 798 women aged 45 years and older. At baseline, none of the women were observed for cardiovascular disease. The study lasted 12 years. 3568 Women of the participants from migraines suffered at the start of the study, one of which occurred 65% of the attacks of the disease less frequently than once a week 30% of migraine patients were observed at a frequency of once per month, and 5% of the attacks were repeated weekly. During the study, 706 cerebrovascular events, 305 heart attacks and 310 ischemic strokes. Compared with women who never had a migraine, the group mentioned the weekly episodes, three times more prone to strokes and in the group with a frequency of attacks less than once a month, the women were one and half times more prone to heart attacks. According to author Kurt Tobias (Tobias Kurth) Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston to study, the results show that the frequency of migraine attacks, an indicator of increased risk for cardiovascular disease, in particular his stroke. More research is needed to determine whether the reduction in the incidence of migraine prevention of cardiovascular disease, scientists say. Also, as we previously reported, researchers have found.
