What is transient ischemic attack (TIA)?
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is often referred to as a “mini stroke”. The symptoms of a TIA are similar a stroke, however they do not last as long (from minutes up to 24 hours). TIA occurs when a portion of the brain's blood supply is temporarily cut off by a blood clot or fatty deposits in the blood vessel. There is no death of brain cells or permanent brain damage. TIA is a sign that there is a high risk for strokes in the future.
