Abstract
- Methylsergide maleate, an effective anti-migraine medication, has a well-documented association with left-sided cardiac valve dysfunction. Prior reports have described cardiac valve dysfunction in patients using methylsergide chronically for a minimum of 6 years, with surgical intervention consisting of valve replacement for patients with intractable congestive heart failure. We report a 51-year-old woman who developed severe mitral and aortic valvular dysfunction after taking methylsergide maleate for migraine headaches for a period of 19 months, and who subsequently underwent aortic and mitral valve repair with excellent short-term results. (ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 20, April 2003). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
