Deep Medullary Veins

Our aim is to investigate whether vascular risk factors are associated with cerebral deep medullary veins (DMVs) and whether DMVs are associated with MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) or risk of stroke. In a community-based cohort of 1056 participants (mean age 55.7 years), DMVs were identified on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) and counted in periventricular regions. Neuroimaging markers including lacunes, whiter matter hyperintensity (WMH), microbleeds, enlarged perivascular space, and brain atrophy were evaluated. The number of DMVs decreased with age (p = 0.007). After adjusting for age and sex, the number of DMVs was not associated with traditional vascular risk factors. Fewer DMVs was associated with increase of WMH and lacunes, but the association vanished after adjustment for vascular risk factors. However, fewer DMVs were independently associated with brain atrophy (p < 0.001). DMVs were not associated with three-year risk of stroke. Our results suggest that DMV is significantly different from other MRI markers of CSVD regarding risk factors, association with other CSVD markers, and risk of stroke. Nonetheless, the significant association between DMV and brain atrophy suggested the potential role of venules in age-related neurodegenerative process, which deserves further investigation.

Introduction Migraine, in particular migraine with aura, has been found to be associated with cardiovascular disease. However, the role of conventional vascular risk factors in the association is still debated. The aim of the present review is to address the association between migraine and conventional cardiovascular risk factors as well as to address their possible role in the association between migraine and cardiovascular disease. Methods Data for this review were obtained through searches in multiple sources up to May 2014 using the terms “migraine” OR “headache” in combination with all the vascular risk factors of interest. Results Data about the possible association between migraine and high blood pressure values are heterogeneous, hindering any final conclusion. Data addressing the possible association between migraine and diabetes mellitus indicate the lack of any association or in some cases a negative association between the two conditions. The body of evidence on the role of dyslipidemia in migraineurs is relatively homogeneous and, with few exceptions, reports an association between migraine and an unfavorable lipid profile; however, the difference in lipid levels between migraineurs and non-migraineurs is small and its clinical implication unclear. Regarding obesity, a trend has been observed of increased risk of migraine with increasing obesity, especially in young patients, albeit in the midst of conflicting data. Evidence about the association between cigarette smoking and migraine mostly indicates that migraineurs are more commonly smokers than non-migraineurs. On the other hand, the majority of the available studies report less alcohol use in migraineurs than in non-migraineurs. Finally, many of the available studies suggest a more frequent family history of cardiovascular disease in migraineurs as compared to non-migraineurs. Since most of the studies that supported the association between migraine and cardiovascular disease adjusted the analyses for the presence of several vascular risk factors, they cannot entirely explain this association. Conclusions Based on the available reported data, it seems unlikely that the higher risk of cardiovascular disease in migraineurs is mediated by any single vascular risk factor. For this reason the role of specific interactions among risk factors with the contribution of genetic, environmental, personality and psychological factors should be appropriately investigated.
