An article on Reuters about a new study that showed that women who suffer from migraines may be at an increased risk of cardiovascular problems like heart attacks and strokes quotes Melissa Rayhill, clinical assistant professor of neurology. “What little evidence we do have suggests the need for therapeutic restraint until we have a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the link between migraine and vascular disease,” she said. Articles also appeared in news outlets that include Reuters UK, AOL News and TCTMD, an interventional cardiology website.
