A "TIA" is a form of stroke, but temporary in its effects. Many TIA's over time can have cumulative, deleterious effects in the same way that a single stroke might. "TIA" is an acronym for "Transient Ischemic Accident", as opposed to "CVA" (also known as Cerebrovascular Accident or stroke). There are three classifications of stroke: * Ischemic (isk-HEEM-ik): Caused by a clot or some other type of blockage in an artery. * Intracerebral (in-tra-sa-REE-bral): Caused by rupture of an artery and bleeding into the tissues of the brain. * Subarachnoid (sub-ah-RACK-noyd): Caused by rupture of an artery and bleeding into the lining and space surrounding the brain, rather than the interior tissues.

∙ 14y agoTIA are small strokes - small areas of bleeding in the brain - most often symptoms are acute and fade with time. A stroke is a large bleed in the brain that affects the brain and different areas of the brain such as speech and movement of the arms and legs and thought process.

TIA-transicient ischemic attack
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.
Can MRI Tracers cause Stroke?
This sounds like a TIA or Transient Ischaemic Attack - what is known a "mini stroke". when a TIA is experienced it often presents with similar symptoms to a Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA - or stroke), such as weakness (usually on one side of the body), confusion, dizzy spell etc... However with a TIA, in comparison with a CVA, it usually resolves within 24 hours with no prevailing dysfunction. Be cautious though, a TIA is usually a warning sign of a possible CVA, and therefor medical help should be sourced ASAP.
What condition is caused by the extreme leaking or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain?
This is a stroke - and today there are 10 levels of a stroke - starting with 3 levers of a TIA (transient ischemic attack). TIA's never leave permenant damage. There are 4 levels of a TIA - and 6 levels of a stroke - from mild to a level 10 stroke in which you are dead before you hit the ground (a major blood vein has burst in your brain).
If a resident has a Tia what would you do?

What are Calypso's other names?

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
Which standard is also known as structured cabling?
TIA/EIA's joint 568 Commercial Building Wiring Standard OR TIA/EIA 568A Standard
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
