What is Transient Ischemic Attack?
A Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), often referred to as a mini-stroke, occurs when there is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain. In many cases, no immediate medical intervention is required, as the symptoms typically resolve on their own. However, a TIA can serve as a warning sign for a more serious ischemic stroke, underscoring the importance of identifying and addressing its underlying cause.
