NeuroBytes: Navigating Stroke Risk in a Young Patient with Migraine
Course Description
Migraine, especially migraine with aura, is associated with a two-times risk of ischemic stroke. In young women, the risk further increases in those who smoke and use estrogen-containing contraceptives. In this video, we discuss the complex association between migraine and stroke and the appropriate risk reduction strategies for patients with migraine- a scenario commonly encountered in the clinic.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this program the learner will be able to:
- Discuss the connection between migraine and stroke.
- Recognize and address vascular risk factors in patients with migraine.
- Provide informed counseling to patients regarding the risk of stroke and thromboembolic events associated with different contraceptive products.
