Prevalence of atrial septal aneurysm in patients with migraine: an echocardiographic study.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of atrial septal aneurysm in patients with migraine. BACKGROUND: Migraine has long been considered a risk factor for stroke. Atrial septal aneurysm is often observed in young patients with ischemic stroke and is frequently associated with other conditions potentially leading to embolism. METHODS: We performed a transthoracic echocardiogram in 90 consecutive patients (65 women and 25 men; mean age, 35.3 years [standard deviation, 9]) with migraine but free from cerebral and cardiovascular disease and in 53 control subjects (37 women and 16 men; mean age, 34 years [standard deviation, 10]). The diagnosis of atrial septal aneurysm was performed according to Olivares-Reyes criteria. A transesophageal echocardiogram also was performed in 75 patients with migraine (83.3%). RESULTS: The prevalence of isolated atrial septal aneurysm was higher in patients with migraine with aura (28.5%) than in patients with migraine without aura (3.6%) (P <.005) or in control subjects (1.9%) (P <.005). CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest a role of atrial septal aneurysm in the genesis of aura in patients with migraine.

[Acromegalic cardiopathy: a morphofunctional study with color-Doppler echocardiography].
We used color-Doppler echocardiography in an investigation of cardiac morphology and function to verify the cardiac anatomic and functional changes in acromegalic patients with or without hypertension and hyperlipemic states. Fifteen patients with growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (mean age: 47.9 years) and 15 healthy control subjects were studied. We measured serum growth hormone (GH), somatomedin-C, cholesterol, triglyceride levels and carried out echocardiographic studies of the following cardiac morpho-functional parameters: left ventricular diameter, volume, mass and wall systolic stress. Serum GH and somatomedin-C levels were significantly higher in acromegalic patients than in controls (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001 respectively). Echocardiography evidenced increased left ventricular mass (60% of the acromegalic patients; p < 0.05) and increased wall systolic stress (53.3%; p < 0.05). Color-Doppler analysis evidenced abnormal diastolic function in 8 acromegalic patients (p < 0.001). We thus conclude that the most characteristic feature of acromegalic heart disease is left ventricular involvement, diastolic dysfunction, increased left ventricular mass or wall systolic stress. The pathogenesis is most probably multifactorial: essential hypertension, associated with slow and progressive evolution of heart disease, appears to be a determining factor.
