PDF13 pages406 KB
At least 240,000 individuals experience a transient ischemic attack each year in the United States, making it a strong predictor of subsequent stroke. The 90-day stroke risk after TIA can be as high as 17.8%, with nearly half occurring within two days of the initial event. Diagnosing TIA is challenging due to the transitory nature of symptoms and limited resources. This statement discusses methods for rapid evaluation and management decisions in the emergency department setting.
