Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases After Nonfocal Transient Neurologic Attacks in the Elderly
In this study, participants with nonfocal TNA did not have a subsequently elevated risk of CVD when compared with their matched counterparts, which contrasts with the elevated risk of stroke following a TIA. In the absence of other indications, initiating secondary prevention specifically after nonfocal TNA seems unwarranted.
