Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 TIAs: A Potentially Serious Blood Vessel Problem One popular name for this blood vessel problem is mini-stroke. The medical term for this condition is transient ischemic attack or T1A. Mini-strokes are described in the medical literature as brief episodes o f interrupted blood flow to the brain. They occur suddenly and without warning. Most TLAs last for about lOto 15 minutes, but can linger for as long as 24 hours. The bad news about TLAs is that per sons who experience them have about a 30 percent chance o f death within five years. TLAs are asso ciated with strokes and heart at tacks. According to a recent issue o f US. Pharmacist, at least 10 per cent o f TLA sufferers w ill have either a heart attack or some other significant cardiovascular disease. This is 2.5 times the risk in a popu lation with no history o f TLAs. The good new s about TIAs is that they often can be prevented with elimination o f as many risk factors as possible. T1A risk fac tors include high blood pressure, elevated blood cholesterol levels, cigarette smoking, excessive alco hol use, oral contraceptive use, and diabetes. Aspirin (650 mg taken twice a day) has been shown to cut the incidence o f stroke follow ing TLAs by one half. Health experts have suggested that lower doses o f aspirin (325 mg once-a-day) may be as effective and better tolerated.
