Abstract

New epidemiological studies suggest a relationship between migraine (especially migraine with aura) and cardiovascular disease. However, the absolute risk of cardiovascular disease for migraine patients is still low even though the relative risk is 2-4-fold higher. Further research will have to show whether migraine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and whether prophylactic treatment of migraine attacks will lower this increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
