ABSTRACT
Migraine, especially migraine with aura is an established risk factor for ischemic lesions of the brain. Recent evidence has also linked migraine with and without aura to a broader range of ischemic vascular disorders including angina, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, claudication and cardiovascular mortality. The topic is therefore of considerable interest. Accordingly, herein we review the association between migraine and cardiovascular disease. We start by briefly presenting diagnostic criteria for migraine and revising its pathophysiology. We follow by summarizing the evidence on the topic. We then briefly present the results of a recent meta-analysis. We close by highlighting results of a large epidemiological study conducted after the publication of the meta-analysis.
RESUMO
A migrânea, especialmente a migrânea com aura, é fator de risco para lesões cerebrais. Evidência recente sugere que migrânea com e sem aura é associada com outras doenças cardiovasculares isquêmicas, incluindo a angina, o infarto do miocárdio, revascularização coronária, claudicação e morte súbita. Iniciamos discutindo o diagnóstico da migrânea e seus mecanismos fisiopatológicos. Após sumarizar a evidência, discutimos resultados de meta-análise recente. Por fim, ressaltamos resultados de um grande estudo populacional sobre o assunto.
