Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack.

Abstract

Cerebrovascular disease is a common and potentially life-threatening illness if not triaged and/or treated appropriately. The diagnosis is made based on a combination of clinical history and neuroimaging studies. The majority of strokes can be prevented, and this process often begins in the primary care office through the careful assessment of vascular risk factors. Appropriate workup aims to pinpoint a pathogenic mechanism and guide therapy. Stroke treatment has rapidly advanced over the past several years, resulting in improved outcomes.
