Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are warning signs for stroke in 30-40% of patients. Recognizing and treating TIAs and carotid artery stenosis can help prevent strokes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in North America.
  • Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) precede stroke in 30-40% of cases.
  • Early intervention for TIAs and carotid artery stenosis may prevent strokes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, natural history, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, investigation, and management of TIAs.
  • To highlight the importance of recognizing and treating TIAs for stroke prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of epidemiologic, pathogenetic, and clinical features of TIAs.
  • Analysis of investigation and management strategies for TIA patients.

Main Results:
