TIA is as an important warning that a person is at increased short-term risk for stroke, and early recognition and rapid treatment may significantly reduce this risk. Assessment of a patient with suspected TIA is challenging because the physical examination is often normal, and there are no easy methods to confirm the diagnosis at the bedside. However, the recent development of clinical risk scores and an increasing amount of data on the prognostic value of early magnetic ...References1. Johnston SC. Clinical practice.
