  • A transient ischemic attack ( TIA or mini-stroke ) describes an ischemic stroke that is short-lived where the symptoms resolve spontaneously. (medicinenet.com)
Minor stroke2
  • Methods In a substudy of the Intensified secondary prevention intending a reduction of recurrent events in TIA and minor stroke patients (INSPiRE-TMS) trial, we enrolled patients with recent transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke with at least one modifiable risk factor. (bmj.com)
  • In patients with recent transient ischaemic attacks (TIA) or minor stroke, the burden of retinal abnormalities was not associated with recurrent vascular events. (bmj.com)
