  • Title: [The importance of risk factors in cerebrovascular processes while taking oral contraceptives (author's transl)].
    Author: Holtmann W, Berger G.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1977 Dec 02; 119(48):1557-60. PubMed ID: 414098.
    Abstract:
    21 young female and 15 young male patients with cerebrovascular insults were examined for risk factors. 14 of the 15 male patients showed clear cut risk factors: obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arterial hypertension, smoking, thromboses, vitium cordis. 20 of the 21 female patients took oral contraceptives. 60% of the female patients with angiographically confirmed stenoses and occlusion did not show any other risk factor. These results support the hypothesis that oral contraceptives are in themselves a risk factor.
