Q: cardiac monitoring of pfo

With migranie suffers that have PFOs have there been any cardiac halter monitoring studies to determine if there is a possibility of any abnormalities in cardiac rhythm? And could this possibly explain the erratic behavior of migraines and pfo correlations?

Hi Lori,

 

I'm not aware of any studies such as you mentioned. I can provide you with the lastet information on PFO that we have. 

 

PFO and Migraine - What the UK MIST Trial Showed.

 

We have a discussion forum you may be interested in checking out.  You could ask this question there. To get to the forum, just look for the orange box marked "Manage" and click on the Migraine Forums link.
