Atransient ischemic attack, orTIA, is sometimes referred to as a "mini-stroke." With a TIA, the stroke symptoms occur but go away on their own. Some people fully recover fromstrokes, but over two-thirds of stroke survivors are left with some type of disability. People who experience mild...
The findings suggest that arterial imaging with 3-D MRI could be useful in helping to determine stroke risk among diabetics. The carotid arteries are vessels on each side of the neck that supply oxygenated blood to the head. Narrowing of the carotid arteries is associated with risk of stroke,...
When blood stops flowing to the brain because of a clot or rupture (hemorrhage), it’s called a stroke. This is extremely dangerous because blood carries essential oxygen and nutrients to the brain. Learn about the three types of strokes and how to treat

A TIA appears to be similar to a stroke (often called a “mini stroke”) but lasts less than five minutes and leaves no lasting damage. However, it is still a medical emergency and requires evaluation and treatment to reduce the potential risk of developing a stroke. These are highly predi...
