Predictive values of lacunar transient ischemic attacks.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We postulated that a lacunar syndrome occurring with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or progressive nonsudden onset predicts a brain infarction (BI), presumably caused by a small artery disease (ie, lacunar BI) better than a lacunar syndrome with sudden onset. METHODS We included 510 patients with BI. BI was classified into etiologic groups including lacunar BI group....
متن کاملTransient ischemic attacks: predictability of future ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack events
The short-term risk of an ischemic stroke after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is estimated to be approximately 3%-10% at 2 days, 5% at 7 days, and 9%-17% at 90 days, depending on active or passive ascertainment of ischemic stroke. Various risk prediction scores are available to identify high-risk patients. We present here a pragmatic review of the literature discussing the main scoring syst...
متن کاملdifferentiation of true transient ischemic attack versus transient ischemic attack mimics.
background: previous literatures have shown a transient ischemic attack (tia) mimic rate of 9-31%. we aimed to ascertain the proportion of stroke mimics amongst suspected tia patients. methods: a prospective observational study was performed in ghaem hospital, mashhad, iran during 2012-2013. consecutive tia patients were identified in a stroke center. the initial diagnosis of ...
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...
متن کاملTransient cerebral ischemic attacks.
“Stroke” is defined as rapid onset of focal neurological deficit, resulting from diseases of the cerebral vasculature and its contents. The term “transient ischemic attacks” (TIA) implies warning symptoms of stroke usually lasting upto 30 minutes to one hour, and complete recovery within 24 hours. Second TIA often causes more damage than the first. Without proper treatment one out of ten subjec...
