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 کاملAtrial Fibrillation in Transient Ischemic Attack Versus Ischemic Stroke: A Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke) Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Compared with ischemic stroke (IS), the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with transient ischemic attack (TIA) is less well established. We aimed to assess the proportion of AF in patients with TIA, and these patients' characteristics and secondary preventive treatment in comparison to patients with IS. METHODS Hospital-based data on TIA and IS events, registered ...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation in Transient Ischemic Attack Versus Ischemic Stroke
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke 5-fold, but it is effectively reduced by the use of vitamin K antagonist and non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (OACs) as recommended in current guidelines. The proportion of AF among patients with ischemic stroke (IS) has been reported to range from 19% to 38%, with variability because of ethnicity, age, and detection mode. Men ca...
