An Update on Transient Ischemic Attacks
Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 2005Each year in the United States 200,000-500,000 people have a transient ischemic attack (TIA). These episodes of brief neurologic deficits were thought to be fairly benign, but this view is changing. In 2002, a new definition for TIA was proposed, and a more intensive diagnostic workup recommended to look for a probable cause of the transient neurologic

All transient ischemic attacks are not created equal. However, they are a medical emergency, and all patients should be hospitalized for urgent evaluation of their risk for stroke or myocardial infarction. For optimal management, it must be determined whether an ischemic attack affects the anterior or posterior circulation. In this article, the authors

Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack
Primary Care: Clinics in Office PracticeCerebrovascular disease is a common and potentially life-threatening illness if not triaged and/or treated appropriately. The diagnosis is made based on a combination of clinical history and neuroimaging studies. The majority of strokes can be prevented, and this process often begins in the primary care office through the careful assessment of vascular

Pathogenesis of Transient Ischemic Attacks
Neurologic Clinics, 1983The author discusses events occurring in the cerebral cortex at different levels of ischemia, including local cerebral blood flow and infarction, types of emboli, and various thrombi.

Transient ischemic attacks: An update
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1991This is a review of extant concepts of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), their definitions, prognostic significance, pathogenesis, physiology, and management. The natural history of TIAs depends upon the risk factors of the population group studied, so that therapeutic trials should be controlled and randomized and not dependent upon published natural

Several options exist for treating transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), although none can eliminate the risk of cerebral infarction. For carotid TIA, carotid endarterectomy is the preferred therapy in patients with an angiographically demonstrated sclerotic lesion, whereas extracranial-intracranial bypass may be beneficial in patients with carotid artery

Angiography and Transient Ischemic Attacks
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1978To the Editor.— In a recent editorial (239:228, 1978) Dalessio recognized that "platelet emboli and fibrinoplatelet mixed clots are the source of most TIAs [transient ischemic attacks], particularly of repeated episodes." These emboli originate from ulcerated atherosclerotic plaques, and it is well known that the presence of ulceration within an ...

Epidemiology of Transient Ischemic Attack
2013Few epidemiologic data are available regarding the prevalence and incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA). Here, the incidence of TIA and that of subsequent stroke events were reviewed. The incidences of TIA in Europe were 0.52-2.37 and 0.05-1.14 in men and women aged 55-64, 0.94-3.39 and 0.71-1.47 in those aged 65-74, and 3.04-7.20 and 2.18-6.06 ...
