Stroke risk3
It is important to separate TIAs from stroke as well as from TIA mimics to estimate individual stroke risk early and properly. (touchneurology.com)
7 Good TIA management requires a practical definition and confident diagnosis, based on good and reliable diagnostic tools, separation from TIA mimics, a valid prognosis and strokerisk assessment to identify potential sources of stroke and risk factors and a strategy for treatment and prevention.

Ischemia3
Ischemic tolerance defines transient resistance to lethal ischemia gained by a prior sublethal noxious stimulus (i.e., preconditioning). (biomedcentral.com)
When the lethal ischemic insult is applied onto this latent protective phenotype, a separate set of responses are triggered that constitute ischemia-tolerant phenotype, which strikingly differs from the unprimed or unpreconditioned brain's phenotype (Figure 1 ). (biomedcentral.com)
In the absence of ischemic preconditioning (IPC), MCAO induces a large infarction (ischemia-sensitive phenotype). (biomedcentral.com)
Prognosis1

(medscape.com)
