Transient 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 کاملTowards 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 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...
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...
