Towards precision medicine in ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack.
Although there is no consensus on the exact definition of precision medicine, it is generally agreed upon that the term entails diagnosis and therapy tailored to the individual patient. Precision medicine has seen major advances in the past two decades, many of which are relevant to ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Advances include substantial improvements in high-throughput ...
متن کامل100 - Transient Ischemic Attack and Acute Ischemic Stroke
The yearly incidence of TIA in the United States has been estimated to be approximately 200,000 to 500,000 but may be higher because of the high frequency of underreporting of these events by medical professionals. The annual incidence of TIA may be less and the annual incidence of stroke may be higher if the tissue-based definition were applied to all patients evaluated for TIA. It has been es...
متن کاملRisk of Stroke after Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke.
BACKGROUND Previous studies conducted between 1997 and 2003 estimated that the risk of stroke or an acute coronary syndrome was 12 to 20% during the first 3 months after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke. The TIAregistry.org project was designed to describe the contemporary profile, etiologic factors, and outcomes in patients with a TIA or minor ischemic stroke who receive care ...
متن کاملTransient ischemic attack etiologic subtype and early risk of stroke.
Transient Ischemic Attack Etiologic Subtype and Early Risk of Stroke To the Editor: Although clinical features help stratify stroke risk after transient ischemic attack (TIA), the novel study by Purroy et al1 on predictors of early recurrent ischemia according to etiologic subtype of the index TIA emphasizes additional variables we must consider in our prognostication algorithms. We wish to dis...
