Utah, Parents should be vigilant when their children frequently experience migraines or headaches. Children who frequently experience migraines accompanied by visual disturbances may have suffered disability in the heart.
This is based on the results of research from the University of Utah. Researchers say that children who experience migraines accompanied by visual disturbances may have a hole in his heart.
In this study, U.S. doctors examined 109 children over the age of 6 years who suffer from migraine. About half of them experienced this type of migraine accompanied by visual disturbances, a heart defect called an aura (aura Had the heart defect), according to reports the Journal of Pediatrics, as reported by BBC News, Friday (1/4/2011).
Numerous medical studies have also found that the hole in the heart that occurs when an adult or what is known technically as a patent foramen ovale (PFO), associated with migraine aura.
Common symptoms of migraine aura include visual disturbances when viewing flashing lights or flashes, numbness, tingling sensations and talk lisp.
Dr Rachel McCandless and colleagues from the University of Utah using a scanning technique known as an echocardiogram to look for heart defects.
"Our research will help guide future research on this difficult issue,"said Dr. Rachel McCandless.
These findings may provide an option in the doctor to treat migraine with surgery to close a hole in the heart, while other migraine therapies have failed.
"Maybe there are a number of explanations for this relationship so we need further research. Once we understand the relationship in more detail, we can give a signal improvement in patient care,"said Amy Thompson, a senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation.
