Long-Term Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With a Transient Ischemic Attack: A Danish Nationwide Cohort Study
Patients with first-time TIA had a low 5-year incidence of MI, which was not significantly different from that of the general population and patients with first-time ischemic stroke after adjustments for comorbidities. However, patients with TIA had a 25% higher all-cause mortality rate than the general population, which was not readily explained by MI risk. Hence, the findings do not endorse the need to raise further awareness regarding MI in patients with TIA.
