Migraines with aura associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease
Women age 45 years or older who experience migraines with aura (associated neurologic symptoms such as temporary visual disturbances) are at a higher risk for heart attack, ischemic stroke, angina and death due to ischemic cardiovascular disease compared to women who do not report a migraine history. view more (2006-07-19)
High blood pressure in pregnancy increases risk of later heart disease
Women who have high blood pressure (hypertension) during pregnancy have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in later life, concludes a study in this week's BMJ.

Food Fortification With Vitamin B12 In Addition To Folic Acid Could Reduce Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease (p 227)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET conclude that vitamin B12 in addition to folic acid should be used to fortify food to lower concentrations of the blood protein homocysteine, thereby potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Mandatory fortification of grain foods with folic acid has been in place in... view more... (2002-01-17)
