J Racial Ethn Health Disparities 2024; 11:1530-1540. [PMID: 37227684 PMCID: PMC11101580 DOI: 10.1007/s40615-023-01629-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study examines the associations between migraine headaches, well-being, and health care use among a sample of underserved older African American adults. Controlling for relevant variables, the association between migraine headaches and (1) health care utilization, (2) health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and (3) physical and mental health outcomes was examined. METHODS Our sample included 760 older African American adults from South Los Angeles recruited through convenience and snowball sampling. In addition to demographic variables, our survey included validated instruments, such as the SF-12 QoL, Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire, and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Data analysis included 12 independent multivariate models using multiple linear regression, log transferred linear regression, binary and multinomial logistic regression, and generalized linear regression with Poisson distribution. RESULTS Having migraine was associated with three categories of outcomes: (1) higher level of health care utilization measured by (i) emergency department admissions and (ii) number of medication use; (2) lower level of HRQoL and health status measured by (i) lower self-rated health (ii) physical QoL, and (iii) mental QoL; and (3) worse physical and mental health outcomes measured by (i) higher number of depressive symptoms, (ii) higher level of pain, (iii) sleep disorder, and (iv) being disabled. CONCLUSIONS Migraine headache significantly was associated with quality of life, health care utilization, and many health outcomes of underserved African American middle-aged and older adults. Diagnoses and treatments of migraine among underserved older African American adults require multi-faceted and culturally sensitive interventional studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to utilize Mendelian randomization to scrutinize the mutual causality between migraine and venous thromboembolism (VTE) thereby addressing the heterogeneity and inconsistency that were observed in prior observational studies concerning the potential interrelation of the two conditions. METHODS Employing a bidirectional Mendelian randomization approach, the study explored the link between migraine and VTE, incorporating participants of European descent from a large-scale meta-analysis. An inverse-variance weighted (IVW) regression model, with random-effects, leveraging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumental variables was utilized to endorse the mutual causality between migraine and VTE. SNP heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran's Q-test and to account for multiple testing, correction was implemented using the intercept of the MR-Egger method, and a leave-one-out analysis. RESULTS The IVW model unveiled a statistically considerable causal link between migraine and the development of VTE (odds ratio [OR] = 96.155, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.342-2129.458, p = 0.004), implying that migraine poses a strong risk factor for VTE development. Conversely, both IVW and simple model outcomes indicated that VTE poses as a weaker risk factor for migraine (IVW OR = 1.002, 95% CI: 1.000-1.004, p = 0.016). The MR-Egger regression analysis denoted absence of evidence for genetic pleiotropy among the SNPs while the durability of our Mendelian randomization results was vouched by the leave-one-out sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSION The findings of this Mendelian randomization assessment provide substantiation for a reciprocal causative association between migraine and VTE within the European population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the rate of hypertension incoming in patients treated with monoclonal antibodies against the calcitonin gene-related peptide. BACKGROUND The monoclonal antibodies blocking the calcitonin gene-related peptide are unquestionable effective in the prevention of migraine. Despite this, the development of hypertension has been detected in some patients. METHODS This was a retrospective study conducted at the University Hospital of Modena. Patients were visited quarterly up to 1 year. RESULTS Globally, no significant increase in the blood pressure was detected. The 5.7% of the patients developed a significant increase in their blood pressure. In particular, patients with a pre-existing hypertension were more likely to have a significant increase in the blood pressure. CONCLUSION The risk of developing hypertension during a treatment with anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies seems low. Anyway, patients with a pre-existing hypertension should be cautiously monitored because they are more likely to develop hypertension.

The World Health Organization Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders and the headache revolution: from headache burden to a global action plan for headache disorders.

Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders was developed by WHO to address the worldwide challenges and gaps in provision of care and services for people with epilepsy and other neurological disorders and to ensure a comprehensive, coordinated response across sectors to the burden of neurologic diseases and to promote brain health across life-course. Headache disorders constitute the second most burdensome of all neurological diseases after stroke, but the first if young and midlife adults are taken into account. Despite the availability of a range of treatments, disability associated with headache disorders, and with migraine, remains very high. In addition, there are inequalities between high-income and low and middle income countries in access to medical care. In line with several brain health initiatives following the WHOiGAP resolution, herein we tailor the main pillars of the action plan to headache disorders: (1) raising policy prioritization and strengthen governance; (2) providing effective, timely and responsive diagnosis, treatment and care; (3) implementing strategies for promotion and prevention; (4) fostering research and innovation and strengthen information systems. Specific targets for future policy actions are proposed. The Global Action Plan triggered a revolution in neurology, not only by increasing public awareness of brain disorders and brain health but also by boosting the number of neurologists in training, raising research funding and making neurology a public health priority for policy makers. Reducing the burden of headache disorders will not only improve the quality of life and wellbeing of people with headache but also reduce the burden of neurological disorders increasing global brain health and, thus, global population health.

Abstract
Despite the growing prevalence of gout and its associated health concerns as a chronic disorder, population-based studies on its link to migraines are scarce. We conducted a 16-year longitudinal study in a Korean population to investigate the relationship between gout and migraines, including different subtypes. We enrolled 23,137 patients with gout and matched them with 92,548 controls based on age, sex, income, and residence. Using Cox proportional hazards models, we calculated hazard ratios to assess the likelihood of migraines while considering relevant factors. During the follow-up, 1000 gout patients and 3214 controls experienced migraines. After adjusting for various factors, including demographics, health-related variables, and weight categories, the gout group had a 1.26-fold higher likelihood of developing migraines compared to the group without gout. This association was particularly strong for migraines without aura, while it was not significant for migraines with aura. In summary, our study reveals a significant link between gout and migraines in the Korean population, emphasizing the complex relationship among chronic disorders, with a specific focus on migraine subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To understand pathophysiological mechanisms underlying migraine as a cardiovascular risk factor, we studied neuropeptide action and endothelial function as measures of peripheral microvascular function in middle-aged women with or without migraine. METHODS We included women with the endocrine disorder polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a population with supposed elevated cardiovascular risk, with and without comorbid migraine. In 26 women without and 23 women with migraine in the interictal phase (mean age 50.8 ± 2.9 years) local thermal hyperemia (LTH) of the skin of the volar forearm was measured cross-sectionally under control conditions, after inhibition of neuropeptide release by 5% lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream application, and after inhibition of nitric oxide formation by iontophoresis of NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (L-NMMA). Hereafter, changes in the natural logarithm of the reactive hyperemia index (lnRHI) and augmentation index (AI) during reperfusion after occlusion-derived ischemia were measured. RESULTS While mean values under control conditions and L-NMMA conditions were similar, migraine patients had a significantly higher mean area of the curve (AUC) of the total LTH response after EMLA application than those without (86.7 ± 26.5% versus 67.9 ± 24.2%; p = 0.014). This was also reflected by a higher median AUC of the plateau phase under similar conditions in women with migraine compared to those without (83.2% (IQR[73.2-109.5]) versus 73.2% (IQR[54.3-92.0]); p = 0.039). Mean changes in lnRHI and AI scores were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS In PCOS patients with migraine, neuropeptide action was lower compared with those without migraine. While larger studies are warranted, these findings provide a potential mechanism supporting previous findings that migraine may be independent from traditional risk factors, including atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Migraine is a chronic neurovascular disease with a complex, not fully understood pathophysiology with multiple causes. People with migraine suffer from recurrent moderate to severe headache attacks varying from 4 to 72 h. The prevalence of migraine is two to three times higher in women compared with men. Importantly, it is the most disabling disease in women <50 years of age due to a high number of years lived with disability, resulting in a very high global socioeconomic burden. Robust evidence exists on the association between migraine with aura and increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), in particular ischaemic stroke. People with migraine with aura have an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death compared with those without migraine. Ongoing studies investigate the relation between migraine and angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries and migraine patients with patent foramen ovale. Medication for the treatment of migraine can be preventative medication, such as beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers, antiepileptics, antidepressants, some of the long-acting calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists, or monoclonal antibodies against calcitonin gene-related peptide or its receptor, or acute medication, such as triptans and calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists. However, these medications might raise concerns when migraine patients also have CVD due to possible (coronary) side effects. Specifically, knowledge gaps remain for the contraindication to newer treatments for migraine. All cardiologists will encounter patients with CVD and migraine. This state-of-the-art review will outline the basic pathophysiology of migraine and the associations between migraine and CVD, discuss current therapies, and propose future directions for research.

Abstract
Migraine is a common neurological disorder affecting 12% of the global population. The common risk factors are adolescent age, genetics, and female sex, and are triggered by hormonal fluctuations, emotional stress, sensory overload, weather changes, alcohol consumption, fasting, cheese, chocolate, smoked fish, yeast extract, cured meats, artificial sweeteners, food preservatives containing nitrates and nitrites, and sleep disturbances. Migraine with aura is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease events, such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, and cardiac arrhythmias, and has recently been added to the QRISK3 cardiovascular disease prediction score. Population-based cohort studies have shown a significant association of migraine with aura and cardiac arrhythmias, most importantly atrial fibrillation. Patients suffering from migraine with aura are at an increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias; thus, it is essential to screen these patients for undiagnosed cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified more than 130 genetic susceptibility loci for migraine; however, how most of these loci impact migraine development is unknown. To identify novel genes associated with migraine and interpret the transcriptional products of those genes, we conducted a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS). We performed tissue-specific and multi-tissue TWAS analyses to assess associations between imputed gene expression from 53 tissues and migraine susceptibility using FUSION software. Meta-analyzed GWAS summary statistics from 26,052 migraine cases and 487,214 controls, all of European ancestry and from two cohorts (the Kaiser Permanente GERA and the UK Biobank), were used. We evaluated the associations for genes after conditioning on variant-level effects from GWAS, and we tested for colocalization of GWAS migraine-associated loci and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). Across tissue-specific and multi-tissue analyses, we identified 53 genes for which genetically predicted gene expression was associated with migraine after correcting for multiple testing. Of these 53 genes, 10 (ATF5, CNTNAP1, KTN1-AS1, NEIL1, NEK4, NNT, PNKP, RUFY2, TUBG2, and VAT1) did not overlap known migraine-associated loci identified from GWAS. Tissue-specific analysis identified 45 gene-tissue pairs and cardiovascular tissues represented the highest proportion of the Bonferroni-significant gene-tissue pairs (n = 22 [49%]), followed by brain tissues (n = 6 [13%]), and gastrointestinal tissues (n = 4 [9%]). Colocalization analyses provided evidence of shared genetic variants underlying eQTL and GWAS signals in 18 of the gene-tissue pairs (40%). Our TWAS reports novel genes for migraine and highlights the important contribution of brain, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal tissues in migraine susceptibility.

Association Between Migraine and Ischemic Cardio-Cerebrovascular Disease (CCVD) and Effects of Triptans and Ergotamine on the Risk of Ischemic CCVD in Patients with Migraine in the Korean NHIS-HEALS Cohort. Clin Drug Investig 2023; 43:541-550. [PMID: 37460781 DOI: 10.1007/s40261-023-01290-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Triptans and ergotamine are commonly used to treat migraine, a risk factor for ischemic stroke. This study aimed to investigate the association between migraine and ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCVD). Further analyses were performed to examine whether symptom-relieving treatment of migraine with triptans and ergotamine reduces ischemic CCVD in migraineurs. METHODS Participants from the Korean NHIS-HEALS cohort database were divided into patients reporting headache without migraine (HA), migraineurs who received at least one prescription for triptans or ergotamine (TE), and migraineurs who were prescribed neither triptans nor ergotamine (NTNE). Ischemic CCVDs comprised ischemic cerebrovascular diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Using cox proportional hazards regression models, primary and secondary analysis for risk of ischemic CCVDs was compared. RESULTS Among 62,272 patients diagnosed with migraine or HA, men with migraine or HA numbered 14,747 and 8935, respectively, while the numbers of women were 27,836 and 10,754, respectively. The median follow-up was 6.65 years. The overall incidence rate of CCVDs was 4728/38,590 (12.25%) in females and 3158/23,682 (13.33%) in males. Compared with the HA group, the hazard ratios (HRs) (95% CIs) of the TE and NTNE groups for ischemic CCVDs were 1.18 (1.01-1.39) and 1.39 (1.28-1.50), respectively, in males, and 1.22 (1.09-1.37) and 1.53 (1.42-1.65), respectively, in females, after full adjustment for confounding variables. Compared with the NTNE group, the HRs (95% CIs) of the TE group for ischemic CCVDs were 0.86 (0.73-0.999) in males and 0.80 (0.72-0.88) in females. CONCLUSIONS Migraine increased the risk of ischemic CCVDs in both sexes, and migraineurs treated with triptans and ergotamine were at lower risk of ischemic CCVDs than migraineurs who did not take those medications, especially in women.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that microvascular dysfunction is a pathology accompanying various injuries and conditions that produce chronic pain and may represent a significant contributing factor. Dysfunction that occurs within each component of the microvasculature, including arterioles, capillaries and venules impacts the health of surrounding tissue and produces pathology that can both initiate pain and influence pain sensitivity. This mini review will discuss evidence for a critical role of microvascular dysfunction or injury in pathologies that contribute to chronic pain conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and fibromyalgia.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Migraine is reportedly associated with several cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCDs), but some of these diseases have not received sufficient attention. We thus attempted to determine the associations of migraine with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), ischemic stroke (IS), and hemorrhagic stroke (HS). Methods The study population was recruited by applying International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes to the database of the Korean National Health Insurance Service from 2002 to 2018. Cumulative incidence curves were plotted to compare the incidence rates of CCDs between the migraine (ICD-10 code G43; n=130,050) and nonmigraine (n=130,050) groups determined using 1:1 propensity-score matching. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to obtain adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CCDs in patients with any migraine, migraine with aura (n=99,751), and migraine without aura (n=19,562) compared with nonmigraine controls. Results For all CCDs, the cumulative incidence rates were higher in the migraine group than the nonmigraine group (p<0.001 in log-rank test). Any migraine, irrespective of the presence of aura, was associated with PAD (aHR 2.29, 95% CI 2.06–2.53), IHD (aHR 2.17, 95% CI 2.12–2.23), AF (aHR 1.84, 95% CI 1.70–1.99), IS (aHR 2.91, 95% CI 2.67–3.16), and HS (aHR 2.46, 95% CI 2.23–2.71). aHR was higher in female than in male migraineurs for all of the CCDs. Conclusions Associations of migraine with CCDs have been demonstrated, which are stronger in females than in males.

Abstract
Risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) shows considerable heterogeneity both in generally healthy persons and in those with known ASCVD. The foundation of preventive cardiology begins with assessing baseline ASCVD risk using global risk scores based on standard office-based measures. Persons at low risk are generally recommended for lifestyle management only and those at highest risk are recommended for both lifestyle and pharmacologic therapy. Additional “risk enhancing” factors, including both traditional risk factors and novel biomarkers and inflammatory factors can be used to further assess ASCVD risk, especially in those at borderline or intermediate risk. There are also female-specific risk enhancers, social determinants of health, and considerations for high-risk ethnic groups. Screening for subclinical atherosclerosis, especially with the use of coronary calcium screening, can further inform the treatment decision if uncertain based on the above strategies. Persons with pre-existing ASCVD also have variable risk, affected by the number of major ASCVD events, whether recurrent events have occurred recently, and the presence of other major risk factors or high-risk conditions. Current guidelines define high to very high risk ASCVD accordingly. Accurate ASCVD risk assessment is crucial for the appropriate targeting of preventive therapies to reduce ASCVD risk. Finally, the clinician-patient risk discussion focusing on lifestyle management and the risks and benefits of evidence-based pharmacologic therapies to best lower ASCVD risk is central to this process. This clinical practice statement provides the preventive cardiology specialist with guidance and tools for assessment of ASCVD risk with the goal of appropriately targeting treatment approaches for prevention of ASCVD events.

The Higher Prevalence of Venous Thromboembolism in the Hungarian Roma Population Could Be Due to Elevated Genetic Risk and Stronger Gene-Environmental Interactions. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:647416. [PMID: 34765649 PMCID: PMC8576195 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.647416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors (GxE) contribute to an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Understanding how these factors interact provides insight for the early identification of at-risk groups within a population and creates an opportunity to apply appropriate preventive and curative measures. Objective: To estimate and compare GxE for VTE risk in the general Hungarian and Roma populations. Methods: The study was based on data extracted from a database consisting of results previously obtained from a complex health survey with three pillars (questionnaire-based, physical, and laboratory examinations) involving 406 general Hungarian and 395 Roma subjects. DNA was genotyped for rs121909567 (SERPINC1), rs1799963 (F2), rs2036914 (F11), rs2066865 (FGG), rs6025 (F5), and rs8176719 (ABO) polymorphisms. After allele frequency comparisons, the odds ratio (OR) was calculated for individual SNPs. Furthermore, genetic risk scores (weighted GRS, unweighted GRS) were computed to estimate the joint effect of the genetic factors. Multivariable linear regression analysis was applied to test the impact of GxE on VTE risk after interaction terms were created between genetic and VTE risk factors [diabetes mellitus (DM), cancer, chronic kidney diseases (CKD), coronary artery diseases (CAD), migraine, depression, obesity, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and smoking]. Results: Interestingly, the rs121909567 (SERPINC1, ATBp3 mutation) SNP was not present in the general population at all. However, the risk allele frequency was 1% among the Roma population, which might suggest a founder effect in this minority. This polymorphism multiplicatively interacted with CAD, CKD, cancer, DM, depression, migraine, and obesity. Even though interactions were not statistically significant, the trend of interaction showed the probability of an incremental VTE risk among the Roma population. The risk of VTE was 4.7 times higher (p > 0.05) for Roma subjects who had ≥3 wGRS (median value) compared with individuals having lower wGRS values but lower for the general subjects (OR = 3.1 × 10−8). Additionally, the risk of VTE was 6.6 times higher in the Roma population that had ≥3 risk alleles (median value) than in individuals with the 0–1 risk allele, and the overall risk was much higher for the Roma population (OR = 6.6; p > 0.05) than for the general Hungarian population (OR = 1.5; p > 0.05). Five positive and significant GxE interactions were identified in the Roma population. The risk of VTE was higher among depressive Roma subjects who carried the risk variant rs2036914 (β = 0.819, p = 0.02); however, this interaction was not significant for the general subjects. The joint presence of high levels of LDL-C and rs2066865 (FGG) increased the VTE risk only among Roma individuals (β = 0.389, p = 0.002). The possibility of VTE risk increment, as a result of a multiplicative interaction between rs8176719 (ABO) and cancer, was identified, which was higher for the Roma population (β = 0.370, p < 0.001) than for the general population (β = −0.042, p = 0.6). The VTE risk increased in the Roma population (β = 0.280, p = 0.001), but was higher in the general population (β = 0.423, p = 0.001) as a result of the multiplicative interaction between CAD and rs2036914 (F11). The presence of a multiplicative interaction between rs2066865 (FGG) and CAD increased the VTE risk for the Roma population (β = 0.143, p = 0.046) but not for the general population (β = −0.329, p < 0.001). Conclusions: rs121909567 (SERPINC1, ATBp3) was confirmed as a founder mutation in the Roma population. Our study revealed some evidence on the burden of the joint presence of genetic and environmental risk factors on VTE, although the finding is highly subjected to the selection and observational biases due to the very small number of VTE cases and the observational nature of the study design, respectively. As a result of higher genetic load and GxE interactions, this minority Roma population is at higher risk of VTE than the general Hungarian population. Thus, our results suggest the need for an intensive search for the rs121909567 (SERPINC1; ATBp3) founder mutation, which might be an important factor for the assessment of thrombotic disease susceptibility among the Roma population. In addition, we strongly recommend further studies among a large number of VTE cases to explore the more precise impact of genetic and environmental risk factors on VTE in the study populations.

Abstract
Aim To determine the relationship between coronary vascular dysfunction and history of migraines in women with suspected ischemia and no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA). Methods In the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation-Coronary Vascular Dysfunction study, 402 women with suspected INOCA answered baseline angina questionnaires, including the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). Coronary function testing (CFT) performed in a subgroup of 252 women evaluated for nonendothelial and endothelial-dependent coronary vascular function. Wilcoxon rank sum test, t-test, and linear regression models were performed. Results Of the 252 women who underwent CFT, 126 (50%) women reported migraine history. Compared to women who reported no migraines, women with migraines were younger and more were premenopausal. They had more angina at rest, with strong emotions, and hot/cold temperatures, as well as angina that wakes them from sleep (P < 0.05 for all). Women with migraines also scored worse on SAQ angina frequency and quality of life P < 0.01 for both). There was no difference in prevalence of coronary vascular dysfunction in the two groups. In addition, linear regression models demonstrated no significant age-adjusted differences in absolute CFT variables. Conclusion Among women with suspected INOCA, migraine history is prevalent and women with migraines have worse angina compared to those without migraines. Coronary vascular dysfunction diagnosed by CFT does not appear to relate to migraine history.

Abstract
Objective: It has been reported that autonomic nervous dysfunction is more prevalent in migraineurs. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a commonly used method to evaluate the cardiac autonomic nervous function modulation. However, HRV changes in migraine are still contradictory. The main objective of this study was to explore the potential HRV change patterns in episodic migraine (EM) and whether there were differences in HRV between EM ictal period and the interictal period. Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including 18 patients with EM and 18 age- and sex-matched controls. The characteristics of demographics, some lifestyle factors, and psychological conditions were assessed at baseline. HRVs including time-domain analysis and frequency-domain analysis were performed in all participants. HRV analyses in migraine were recorded not only in the interictal period but also in the ictal period. Results: All the HRV parameters showed a decreased trend in migraine than controls. Time-domain parameters standard deviation of all NN intervals in 24 h (SDNN) and triangular index were significantly lower in the migraine ictal period than controls separately (SDNN, 56.94 ± 22.09 ± 7.76 vs. 135.78 ± 35.16, p < 0.001; triangular index, 12.61 ± 3.20 vs. 22.11 ± 6.90, p < 0.001). Frequency-domain parameter low-frequency power was also lower in the migraine ictal period than controls (351.28 ± 206.71 vs. 559.61 ± 281.24, p = 0.02). SDNN was much lower in the migraine ictal period than migraine interictal period (56.94 ± 22.09 vs. 115.94 ± 46.88, p < 0.001). HRV changes during migraine interictal period did not differ from the control group. The correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between visual analog scale and HRV parameters in the migraine ictal period (p = 0.04). Conclusions: The present cross-sectional study indicates that HRV was significantly decreased in EM population especially during the migraine ictal period, which means unbalance of autonomic system in EM. Perhaps larger prospective cohort studies are wanted to validate these findings.

Abstract
Maternal mortality rates have been steadily increasing in the United States, and cardiovascular mortality is the leading cause of death among pregnant and postpartum women. Maternal stroke accounts for a significant burden of cardiovascular mortality. Data suggest that rates of maternal stroke have been increasing in recent years. Advancing maternal age at the time of birth and the increasing prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and other risk factors, as well, such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, migraine, and infections, may contribute to increased rates of maternal stroke. In this article, we provide an overview of the epidemiology of maternal stroke, explore mechanisms that may explain increasing rates of stroke among pregnant women, and identify key knowledge gaps for future investigation in this area.

Abstract
Background: The incidence of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is known through referral center databases that may be affected by referral, misclassification, and other biases. We sought to determine the community-based incidence and natural history of PPCM using the Rochester Epidemiology Project. Methods and Results: Incident cases of PPCM occurring between January 1, 1970, and December 31, 2014, were identified in Olmsted County, Minnesota. A total of 15 PPCM cases were confirmed yielding an incidence of 20.3 cases per 100,000 live births in Olmsted County, Minnesota. Clinical information, disease characteristics, and outcomes were extracted from medical records in a 27-county region of the Rochester Epidemiology Project including Olmsted County and matched in a 1:2 ratio with pregnant women without PPCM. A total of 48 women were identified with PPCM in the expanded 27-county region. There was 1 death and no transplants over a median of 7.3 years of follow-up. Six of the 23 women with subsequent pregnancies developed recurrent PPCM, all of whom recovered. Migraine and anxiety were identified as novel possible risk factors for PPCM. Conclusions: The population-based incidence of PPCM was 20.3 cases per 100,000 live births in Olmsted County, Minnesota. Cardiovascular outcomes were generally excellent in this community cohort.

[PMID: 33045096 DOI: 10.1111/head.13990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2020] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND This study aimed to clarify the relationship between migraine-like headache and ventriculo-arterial coupling after transcatheter closure of the atrial septal defect in children. We hypothesized that migraine headache after defect closure would be related to an abnormal hemodynamic response against an increased left ventricular filling. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. METHODS We calculated the end-ventricular systolic elastance (Ees), effective arterial elastance (Ea), and ventricular energy efficiency approximated based on echocardiography before and after defect closure, and compared these parameters between the subjects with and without headache after defect closure. RESULTS A total of 167 subjects were studied. Age at the procedure, defect diameter, and pulmonary to systemic blood flow ratio were 11 (9-17) years, 12.8 (9.2-16.0) mm, and 1.8 (1.6-2.3), respectively. We identified 47 (28%) subjects with migraine headache after defect closure. Although there was no significant difference in the Ees, Ea, and ventricular energy efficiency before defect closure between the groups, the Ees (4.0 [3.4-4.9] vs 4.8 [3.7-6.1], P = .014) and ventricular energy efficiency (0.79 [0.76-0.82] vs 0.83 [0.79-0.85], P = .001) after defect closure in subjects with headache were significantly lower than those in subjects without headache. Migraine headache after defect closure was significantly associated with age (odds ratio: 0.97, 95% confidential interval: 0.94-1.00, P = .036) and a decrease in the ventricular energy efficiency after defect closure (odds ratio: 6.42, 95% confidential interval: 2.76-14.90, P < .001). CONCLUSION A loss of ventricular energy efficiency was common in pediatric subjects with migraine-like headache after transcatheter closure of the atrial septal defect, which suggested that the left ventricular function maladaptation was related to headache development after defect closure. We advocate that an impaired ventriculo-arterial coupling may be one of the mechanisms for developing attacks in not only this population but also in other patients with migraine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute stroke during pregnancy or within 6 weeks of childbirth is devastating for the mother and her family, yet data regarding incidence and contemporary trends are very limited. OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the incidence and outcomes of acute stroke and transient ischemic attack during pregnancy or within 6 weeks of childbirth in a large database. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample was queried to identify women age ≥18 years in the United States with pregnancy-related hospitalizations from January 1, 2007, to September 30, 2015. Temporal trends in acute stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic)/transient ischemic attack incidence and in-hospital mortality were extracted. RESULTS Among 37,360,772 pregnancy-related hospitalizations, 16,694 (0.045%) women had an acute stroke. The rates of acute stroke did not change (42.8 per 100,000 hospitalizations in 2007 vs. 42.2 per 100,000 hospitalizations in 2015; ptrends = 0.10). Among those with acute stroke, there were increases in prevalence of obesity, smoking, hyperlipidemia, migraine, and gestational hypertension. Importantly, in-hospital mortality rates were almost 385-fold higher among those who had a stroke (42.1 per 1,000 pregnancy-related hospitalizations vs. 0.11 per 1,000 pregnancy-related hospitalizations; p < 0.0001). The rates of in-hospital mortality among pregnant women with acute stroke decreased (5.5% in 2007 vs. 2.7% in 2015; ptrends < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this contemporary analysis of pregnancy-related hospitalizations, acute stroke occurred in 1 of every 2,222 hospitalizations, and these rates did not decrease over approximately 9 years. The prevalence of most stroke risk factors has increased. Acute stroke during pregnancy and puerperium was associated with high maternal mortality, although it appears to be trending downward. Future studies to better identify mechanisms and approaches to prevention and management of acute stroke during pregnancy and puerperium are warranted.
