Magalhães JE, et al. - As migraine has been identified to increase the risk of cardiovascular events, researchers evaluated its association with the markers of carotid artery disease. They performed a cross-sectional study of middle-aged women with no known cardiovascular diseases undergoing clinical, neurological, and laboratory evaluations; pulse wave velocity (PWV) assessment; and carotid artery ultrasonography. The participants were divided based on the presence of migraine and, further, based on the type of migraine. Outcomes revealed an increased risk of carotid thickening in relation to migraine with aura, and a low risk of carotid plaques and arterial stiffening in relation to migraine without aura.
