PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF VARIOUS PATHOGENETIC VARIANTS OF TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACKS
Keywords:
transitory ischemic attack, stroke, prognosis, atherosclerosis, diagnosis, prevention, treatmentAbstract
Transient ischemic attack (TIA), being a precursor of stroke, increases the risk of its development by up to 30% low awareness of the population about TIA symptoms, may cause late hospitalization of patients with its development and thereby cause stroke and reduce the effectiveness of treatment. Using a simple, practical ABCD 2 scale (age, arterial hypertension, presence of paresis and aphasia, duration of symptoms more than 60 minutes, diabetes mellitus) may be of predictive value in patients’ hospitalization. It is necessary to start the secondary prevention of stroke as soon as possible. The issue of choosing modern methods of prevention and treatment of patients with TIA, the choice of the optimal method of surgical treatment of patients with stenosis of the carotid arteries is currently not completely resolved.
