Description

• There is a relationship between the diagnosis of TIA and the subsequent development of a stroke1–4.
• The risk of developing a stroke within 90 days of a TIA is approximately 10.5% with about half of these occurring in the first 1-2 days of the TIA3.

Risk factors that may increase the likelihood of developing a stroke following a TIA include:

• Having age over 60
• A blood pressure of 140/90 or greater
• Diabetes
