Different degrees of right-to-left shunting predict migraine and stroke: data from 420 patientsGian Paolo Anzola
ervizio di Neurologia, Ospedale S Orsola FBF, Associazione Fatebenefratelli per la Ricerca AFaR, Brescia, Italy
Neurology 66:765-7. 2006..0001). Patients with migraine have overall larger shunts than nonmigraineurs, particularly if they have had a stroke. Right-to-left shunting may be causally related to migraine and to the increased stroke risk of migraine...
