The Burden of Migraine in Adults with Atrial Septal Defect: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Abstract: We aimed to investigate migraine diagnoses in a hospital setting, use of prescription migraine medicine and levels of serotonin in patients with atrial septal defect. Using Danish national registries to identify all patients born before 1994 diagnosed with atrial septal defect between 1959 and 2013, thus including 2277 patients and a gender and age matched comparison cohort of 22756. Plasma serotonin was measured in 136 patients with a small, unclosed, atrial septal defects and 18 controls. Patients with atria… Show more

“…In our study, we showed that the risk for new-onset migraine was markedly increased (RR 3.61) even after the shunt was closed, and the risk seemed to remain elevated in the long-term follow-up. In a Danish register-based study, the hazard ratio for new migraine was even higher (HR 5.5) after the ASD closure [ 23 ]. The rate of new-onset migraine was 8.2% in our study, which is consistent with previous studies (0–24%) [ 24 ].…”

“…A chronic low serotonin disposition in the brain has been recognized as one of the leading biochemical pathogenesis of migraine, and a sudden increase of serotonin represents a crucial trigger of migraine attacks [ 31 ]. A cohort study investigating the burden of migraine and levels of serotonin in adults with an atrial septal defect found that patients with atrial septal defect had an increased risk of receiving a migraine diagnosis (hazard ratio: 3.4, 95% CI: 2.6 to 4.6) and plasma serotonin was severely elevated [ 32 ]. Besides, a model of endothelial dysfunction in the trigeminovascular system has emerged in migraine research recently, which induces an inflammatory response and a hypercoagulable state marked by increased platelet reactivity, altered erythrocyte morphology and metabolism, and increased fibrinogen levels [ 33 , 34 ].…”
