What does Tia stand for also known as a mini stroke?
TIA-transicient ischemic attack
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 is a mini-stroke fleeting symptoms of a CVA?
Mini strokes are almost undetected, although I have at times noticed problems with speech, or pain in both arms at the same time.
What is the scientific name for the stroke?
The scientific name for a stroke is "cerebrovascular accident" (CVA). It refers to the sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain, leading to brain cell damage or death.
Could you loose hearing from a T.I.A.?
Yes. A TIA or a mini stroke can affect any part of the body, including hearing. It depends upon the severity of the TIA as to whether the hearing will return to normal.
How do you know if you've had a mini stroke?
A TIA or mini stroke, is more accurately characterized as a “warning stroke,” a warning you should take very seriously. The warning means that a 'real' stoke can happen.You will see and hear speech and visual disturbance, and numbness or weakness in the face, arms and legs. However, a TIA does not last as long as a stroke. The effects often only last for a few minutes or hours and fully resolve within 24 hours.

What is the medical term meaning mini-stroke?
What most think of as ministrokes are called transient ischemic attacks in medical terms.Often transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are called mini strokes, though this is somewhat of a misnomer since in TIAs don't cause permanent damage to the brain, while strokes 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.
Can you die from a Transient Ischemic Attack TIA?
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 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.
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
