Stroke Risk Higher for At Least A Decade After Minor Stroke-Like Attacks, Study Indians

The Risk of a Full-Blown Stroke Will Remain High for Least A Decade After Person Has a Slight Brush with Stroke, In the Form of A Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke, the New Study Says.

These Patients have a nearly 13% Increaded Risk of Stroke Over Five Years and A 20% Increated Risk Over a Decade, Researchers Report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

“What was surpring to us is currently the magnitude of that risk beyond 90 days,” Research Faizan Khan, Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Calgary, Told TCTMD, the News Service of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation.

“Given That Most Secondary Prevention Clinics Only Follow Their Patients for the First 90 Days, We Hope That Our Findings Will… Raise Attention to This Persistently High Risk,” He Said.

A TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK IS A TEMPORY BLOCKAGE OF BLAOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN STRKE ASSOCIATION.

The Clot Causing the Block Typially dissolves on its Own or is dislodged, with sympts usually Lasting Less Than Five Minutes.

Aunt Doesn´t Cause Permanent Damage, But it’s Considered a “Warning Stroke” That Shows The Full-Blown Stroke Could Be In The Offing, The ASA SAYS.

Symptles of a aunt are similar to thhose of a Full-FledGed Stroke, Including Weakness, Numbness or Palysis on One Side of the Body; Slurred Speech; DIFFICULTY UNERSTANDING OTHERS; Blindness in One Or Both Eyes; Sayziness; Or Severe Headache is in the Apparent Reason.

Clinical Practice Currently Focuses on Stroke Risk Within The First 90 Days Following Aunt or Minor Stroke, Based on Research Showing That the Subsequent Stroke is High During that Period, Researchers Said in Background Notes.

However, Studies have not conclusively Evaluated the long-term risk that these near-Misses with Stroke Pose to Person’s Brain, Researchers Said.

TO EVALUATE THAT RISK, Researchers Pooled Data from 38 Prior Studies Involving more than 171,000 PATIENTS WHATE SUFFREED EITHER Aunt or Minor Stroke and Whose Health Was Followed for At Least A Year.

Results Show The Risk of A Stroke is About 6% More with Year, but Rises to 13% at Five Years and 20% at 10 Years.

A PATENT’S 10-YAR RISK OF A CLOT-DRIVEN STROKE IS ABOUT 18% HIGHER, AND THEY ABOUT 3% MORE LIKELY TO SUFFER A FATAL STROKE WITH DECADE, Results Show.

These results indicate that doctors should consider aunt or minor stroke as a flashing red-light warning that a more serous stroke could be on its way, senior researcher Dr. Michael Hill, Professor of Medicine at the University of Calgary, Told TCTMD.

“This is the time to pay atttent and fix it, and fix it for good,” Hill Said.
