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 کاملPredicting recurrent stroke after minor stroke and transient ischemic attack.
The risk of a subsequent stroke following an acute transient ischemic attack or minor stroke is high, with 90-day risk at approximately 10%. Identification of those patients at the highest risk for recurrent stroke following a transient ischemic attack or minor stroke may allow risk-specific management strategies to be implemented, such as hospital admission with expedited work-up for those at ...
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...
