No, as given in the name, a Transient Ischemic Attack or TIA is "transient". So you do not die from TIA. However, a TIA can progress or lead to a full Stroke. You can die from a Stroke.
What does Tia stand for also known as a mini stroke?
TIA-transicient ischemic attack
If a resident has a Tia what would you do?

Why is a transient ischemic attack called a light stroke sometimes and how is this confirmed?
A TRANSIENT ISCHEMIA ATTACK, or "TIA" is often called a "mini-stroke" or a "light stroke" because, while both a stroke and a TIA are both caused by clots, the TIA. lasts only a few minutes and is temporary and there is usually no permanent damage done to the patient. The TIA.also carries the name "warning stroke" because it often does precede a stroke, if it goes untreated. The way the TIA is confirmed is through a thorough History and Physical by the physician and the patient or family member's recollection of symptoms preceding the event, as well as laboratory testing, and an M.R.I. (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The MRI does not show any signs if this is a TIA.
Stroke symptoms that resolve within 24 hours are called?
TIA
Can mini stroke lead to major stroke?
A mini stroke is called a TIA or trans ischemic attack and yes one can occur after a CVA (cerebrovascular attack) or severe stroke
What does TIA stand for?
TIA stands for Transient Ischemic Attack. A TIA is sometimes called a mini-stroke and is the medical term for stroke-like symptoms that occur and resolve spontaneously within 24 hours. A TIA is treated very seriously and may be the harbinger of a stroke in the near future. Cerebral ischemic events are broken down into symptom duration: Transient ischemic attack (TIA): less than 24 hours duration Reversible ischemic neurologic defect (RIND): 24 to 72 hours duration Cerebrovascular accident (CVA or stroke): greater than 72 hours duration, possibly permanent deficit. TIA stands for Thanks In Advance. ==Other== TIA was used in Blood Diamond to mean This is Africa TIA stands for many other places
If a person had a mini stroke would they have on going head aches and if so what part of the head would the pain be in?
Headaches can be a part of TIA. The location of the pain could be different in every person but is often one-sided.
Does a Tia usually cause unconsciousness?
TIA (Transient ischaemic attack)A transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or 'mini-stroke', is caused by a temporary fall in the blood supply to part of the brain, leading to a lack of oxygen to the brain. This can cause symptoms that are similar to a stroke, although they don't last as long. A TIA lasts only a few minutes and is usually resolved within 24 hours.The main signs and symptoms of a TIA can be remembered by the word FAST: Face-Arms-Speech-Time:Face. The face may have fallen on one side, the person may not be able to smile, or their mouth or eye may have drooped.Arms. The person with suspected stroke may not be able to raise both arms and keep them there, due to arm weakness or numbness.Speech. There may be slurred speech.Time. It is time to call for an ambulance immediately if you see any of these signs or symptoms.If signs and symptoms last longer than 24 hours, it is regarded as a full stroke.Unconsciousness following a TIA would indicate an immediate urgent need to seek medical attention. However, falling unconscious does not always occur.How common are TIAs?It's difficult to know exactly how common TIAs are, as many people who have TIA symptoms do not seek medical help. Approximately one person per 1,000 in the population is thought to suffer a TIA each year. On average, a doctor sees three to five cases per year, and an average hospital manages around 1,000 cases.A TIA is a true medical emergencyIf you have the symptoms of a TIA, seek medical attention urgently. TIAs are a warning sign that further TIAs, or a full stroke, may be imminent.Without treatment, there is a one in 10 chance that you will have a full stroke within four weeks of having a TIA. A stroke is a serious condition and can cause permanent disability. In some cases, strokes can be fatal.As TIAs are serious, it is important that they are always investigated so that appropriate treatment can be given quickly. With treatment, the risk of a further TIA or a full stroke can be greatly reduced.
What is a pre-stroke called?
A pre-stroke is often referred to as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a mini-stroke. It is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain that can mimic stroke symptoms but typically resolves within a few minutes to 24 hours with no lasting damage. However, TIAs should be taken seriously as they can be warning signs of a potential future stroke.
