Risk of Stroke in Persons Who
Have Had TIAs
People who have had one or more
TIAs have a considerably higher risk of stroke than does the
general population. Overall, the risk of stroke after
a TIA is 24% to 29% during the next 5 years [Heyman A, et
al. Neurology. 1984;34:626. Dennis M, et al. Stroke.
