Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies acting on the calcitonin gene‐related peptide or its receptor (CGRP‐mabs) are novel drugs for resistant migraine prophylaxis. As CGRP‐mabs cause inhibition of vasodilatation, their use is reserved to patients with no recent history of cardiovascular diseases. We report a case of myocardial infarction associated with erenumab.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
