Excerpt

In this study, Homoya and colleagues explore the real-world management of patients with TIAs in 14 VA Medical Centers from around the country. A TIA is an example of an infrequent but high-risk event that non-specialists need to recognize and appropriately manage.1 What happens in the first few days after having a TIA is critical since the risk of a potentially disabling stroke is greater than 10% and the risk of death is 2.6% at 90 days.2
