Dr. Sen's migraine research featured in the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology
A study led by Souvik Sen, M.D., Ph.D., USC School of Medicine chair of clinical neurology, indicates that individuals who experience migraines, a type of severe headache, with a visual disturbance or aura may have an increased risk of an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, and subsequently an increased risk of stroke. The study findings were published on Nov. 14 in an online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
