🧠 Time to rethink the link between #migraine & white matter hyperintensities on MRI?. In my Guest Editorial in Headache, I explore why the long-held assumption may not hold up—and what future research should focus on. #neurotwitter @ihs_official @ahsheadache @ESOstroke.

Thank you @MigraineDisordr for inviting me to discuss these important topics. We need more research to better understand the complex relationship between #migraine, #stroke, and other vascular disorders. @ihs_official @ahsheadache @HeadacheJournal @ESOstroke @HerlevGentofte.
In this episode, @drhougaard explores the link between #migraine and increased risk of vascular events like #stroke and #heartattack. He also covers #triptan use, white matter hyperintensities, and the controversial topic of migrainous infarction. 🎙️

New paper out!.Is triptan use associated with major ischemic events?.Yes, but the risk is very low and limited to people aged 60+ with high cardiovascular risk. @ESOstroke @DavidGaist @HerlevGentofte.
Danish population-based study of 429,612 first-time triptan users found higher relative risk of stroke (OR 3.2) and MI (OR 3.2). Absolute risk was low (only 0.003%/0.004% of users had a stroke/MI) and limited to high CVD risk profile people. #NeuroTwitter.

4/4 A better term for this phenomenon would be “secondary cortical spreading depolarization” rather than "symptomatic migraine aura" or “migraine aura-like symptoms.”.

3/4 Symptoms of spreading depolarization occur in a long range of neurological and neurosurgical conditions involving cortical damage or irritation (.

2/2 Microembolization through a right-to-left cardiac shunt triggering cortical spreading depolarization is the likely mechanism.
