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.

family in Arlington, they decid

brother, Chuck, accompanied
