Understanding Transient Ischemic Attacks
Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack? The symptoms are the same, and both require an immediate visit to the Emergency Department. In fact, a person if you are admitted to the hospital with a Transient Ischemic Attack, or TIA, you will get a full stroke workup. If a TIA goes untreated, there is a 10% chance of having a stroke within three months.
In this podcast, Dr. Ilkcan Cokgor, a neurologist and a member of the medical staff at MarinHealth, explains the difference between a TIA and a stroke. Find out why medical professionals don’t use the term “mini stroke” to describe a TIA. Learn the difference between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. And be sure to learn the signs of stroke–the life you save could be your own.
