Abstract:
Patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at very high risk of imminent stroke. This risk could be decreased by 80% if patients are immediately investigated and treated by stroke specialists. However, because TIA workup includes not only specialist advices but also a wide range of investigations such as brain, arterial and cardiac imaging, management of these patients in emergency required well-organized dedicated health care system, such as TIA clinics. Management of TIA patients in outpatient clinics has been shown to be safe and cost-effective avoiding full hospitalization in most of the cases.
