Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is well known to be a prodromal syndrome of ischemic stroke. However, TIA is easily neglected or underestimated by patients or even general physicians because the symptoms naturally disappear without treatment. Despite this, early after the onset of TIA the patients are at very high risk of stroke. As it is not possible to differentiate TIA from acute ischemic stroke (AIS) only by the duration of symptoms, both TIA and AIS should be recognized on the same spectrum of acute ischemic syndrome in the central nervous system. This book presents the new concept ‘acute cerebrovascular syndrome’ (ACVS), which includes both TIA in acute settings and AIS. The publication covers all topics of TIA in ACVS, which includes the definition, concept, etiology, epidemiology, symptomatology, risk scores, neuroimaging, neurosonology, acute management, primary and secondary prevention, and guidelines. Written by leading international experts in the field, the publication presents valuable and essential information for neurologists, general practitioners, neurosurgeons, radiologists, students, and nurses, in both clinical practice and research.

Primary care physicians are the first to diagnose transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs), and are the doctors who can undertake a considerable amount of stroke prevention treatment. This book fills the primary care physician’s need for a short clear text explaining how to accurately diagnose a TIA, determine what investigations are indicated and how and when to intervene to reduce the risk of stroke. Short chapters are written in point form with clear diagrams and figures, each chapter written by an expert in the field. Stroke is a brain attack and a major cause of disability. Active intervention can prevent stroke especially in high risk groups.

This book was born from the synthesis of the rapidly proliferating field of cerebrovascular disease research, excitement about effective new imaging and therapeutic strategies, and the need to timely educate clinicians about the changing playing field for a common, serious and expensive syndrome - transient ischemic attacks (TIA). TIAs can now stand on their own as an important, and, at times, unique aspect of symptomatic cerebrovascular disease, distinct enough to warrant a textbook in its own right. With new information on a worrisome and serious natural history, growing knowledge of risk factors and their management, sophisticated neuroimaging techniques, and a broadening armamentarium of therapeutic approaches, the clinician is now faced with multiple levels of decision making. Does one admit the patient with a recent TIA to the hospital? What are the optimal imaging and diagnostic strategies? What antiplatelet agent to use? What is the role for surgery and interventional techniques? How do I optimally control associated risk factors? This book serves to provide the most current information to help guide clinicians through the best decisions to care for their patients, using evidence-based recommendations when available and expert opinion when no good data exist.

Clinical case studies have long been recognized as a useful adjunct to problem-based learning and continuing professional development. They emphasize the need for clinical reasoning, integrative thinking, problem-solving, communication, teamwork and self-directed learning – all desirable generic skills for health care professionals. This book is a teaching tool that bridges the gap between textbook information and everyday experience of clinicians 'in the trenches'. Leading practitioners bring a practical approach to these complex conditions, highlighting specific areas of diagnostic uncertainty in evaluation and treatment. Each case is taken from real-world clinical practice and reviews the diagnostic and treatment process in a systematic manner, identifying common challenges and potential pitfalls. This concise and useful guide in the Common Pitfalls series provides a step-by-step guide for everyday clinical practice, invaluable to anyone dealing with cerebrovascular disease on a front-line basis. The intended readership is trainees and non-specialist practitioners in neurology, stroke medicine, and neurosurgery.

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) is often used as a catchall diagnosis for patients with transient neurological events. However, stroke specialists establish a non-TIA/stroke diagnosis for up to half of Stroke Prevention Clinics patients.1-3 Arbitrary TIA diagnosis and a surplus of non-TIA referrals impedes rapid stroke services for patients truly at risk of further events. Our retrospective chart review included 1894 patients referred to The Ottawa Hospital Stroke Prevention Clinic in 2015. Descriptive statistics were used to define patient and referral characteristics, features of the presenting neurological event and final diagnosis by a stroke neurologist (classified as definitely, possibly, or definitely not TIA/stroke). Multinomial logistic regression analysis with backwards elimination and a significance level of staying in the model of u03b1 0.15 was used to identify variables associated with the final diagnosis.The final model included 20 variables. The odds of a final diagnosis of definite TIA/stroke (vs definitely not) was more than 50% lower for patients with two or more events in the past month or stereotyped features. Loss of consciousness, amnesia, lightheadedness, jerking, situational triggers, and positive visual phenomena were associated with an 83% to 98% reduced odds of final TIA/stroke diagnosis.Identification of presenting variables associated with a reduced likelihood of TIA/stroke diagnosis is important to consider when determining the provisional diagnosis for a transient neurological event. Judicious attention to features less commonly associated with TIA/stroke may influence a broader differential diagnosis, guide initial testing to enhance discrimination, and may reduce unnecessary demands for urgent stroke services.
