This is the conclusion drawn by experts from Harvard University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (
USA) after studying nearly 28,000 women over the age of 45 who do not have heart disease.
After 10 years of monitoring, 10% of those with a history of migraines accompanied by symptoms of bright lights or blurred vision developed cardiovascular diseases.
The risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in older age doubles for individuals with chronic migraine. However, the risk does not significantly increase in those who experience migraines without visual disturbances.
There is a hypothesis suggesting that some individuals with migraines and congenital heart disease may have an increased risk of blood clots traveling to the brain, leading to stroke.
