Transient Ischemic Attack and Minor Stroke Are the Most Common Manifestations of Acute Cerebrovascular Disease: A Prospective, Population-Based Study – The Aarhus TIA Study

Abstract

Minor events are the most common in ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and may constitute a larger proportion than previously reported. TIA and stroke patients share many characteristics; however, TIA patients are younger and have fewer manifestations of atherosclerotic diseases, indicating a high potential for secondary prevention.
