Recurrent events in transient ischemic attack and minor stroke.
Recurrent Events in Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke To the Editor: We have read with great interest the article entitled “Recurrent events in transient ischemic attack and minor stroke. What events are happening and to which patients?,”1 which appeared in Stroke. On the one hand, this study suggests that a high rate of recurrent events after a first minor stroke (MS) or transient isc...
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 کاملRefinement of Imaging Predictors of Recurrent Events following Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke
BACKGROUND TIA and minor stroke have a high risk of recurrent stroke. Abnormalities on CT/CTA and MRI predict recurrent events in TIA and minor stroke. However there are many other imaging abnormalities that could potentially predict outcome that have not been assessed in this population. Also the definition of recurrent events used includes deterioration due to stroke progression or recurrent ...
متن کاملRecurrent events in transient ischemic attack and minor stroke: what events are happening and to which patients?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The risk of a recurrent stroke after transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke is high. Clinical trials are needed to assess acute treatment options in these patients. We sought to evaluate the type of recurrent events and to identify which subsets of patients are at risk for recurrent events. METHODS One hundred and eighty patients with TIA or minor stroke were e...
متن کاملCT/CT Angiography and MRI Findings Predict Recurrent Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke
Background and Purpose—Transient ischemic attack and minor stroke portend a substantial risk of recurrent stroke. MRI can identify patients at high risk for a recurrent stroke. However, MRI is not commonly available as an emergency. If similarly clinically predictive, a CT/CT angiographic (CTA) imaging strategy would be more widely applicable. Methods—Five hundred ten patients with consecutive ...
