"Transient Ischemic Attack"

from Explain it to me! · host Dr. Billakota M.D.

Per CDC: TIAs are sometimes known as “warning strokes.” It is important to know that A TIA is a warning sign of a future stroke. A TIA is a medical emergency, just like a major stroke. Strokes and TIAs require emergency care. Call 9-1-1 right away if you feel signs of a stroke or see symptoms in someone around you. There is no way to know in the beginning whether symptoms are from a TIA or from a major type of stroke. Like ischemic strokes, blood clots often cause TIAs. More than a third of people who have a TIA and don’t get treatment have a major stroke within 1 year. As many as 10% to 15% of people will have a major stroke within 3 months of a TIA.1 More about me: https://linktr.ee/Drbillakotamd
