Migraine and atrial fibrillation : a systematic review and meta-analysis

Copyright © 2024 Copyright: © 2024 Singapore Medical Journal..

BACKGROUND: Patients with migraines, particularly those with auras, may present with stroke. Atrial fibrillation is a known risk factor for stroke. With common pathophysiological factors between migraines and atrial fibrillation, we aimed to clarify the association between migraine and atrial fibrillation in this systematic review and meta-analysis.

METHODS: A literature search was conducted in EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane electronic bibliographic databases from inception to 5 September 2022 with the following inclusion criteria: (a) cohort or cross-sectional studies; (b) studies that included only patients aged ≥18 years; and (c) studies that examined the association between atrial fibrillation and migraines. Exclusion criteria were case-control studies and the studies that included patients with previous diagnosis of atrial fibrillation or nonmigrainous headache. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the quality of studies.

RESULTS: Six studies were included, demonstrating a pooled prevalence of atrial fibrillation of 1.61% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.51, 3.29) in migraine with aura and 1.32% (95% CI 0.17, 3.41) in migraine without aura. The overall prevalence of atrial fibrillation in migraine was 1.39% (95% CI 0.24, 3.46).

CONCLUSION: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the overall prevalence of atrial fibrillation in patients with migraine was low. Further studies are needed to clarify this relationship.
