TIAs are an ominous sign of increased risk for debilitating stroke. Although most strokes are not preceded by TIAs, approximately one-third of patients who have a TIA will have an acute, major stroke days, weeks, or even months.

How many types of strokes are there?

There are three main types of strokes: ischemic, hemorrhagic, and transient ischemic attack (TIA). Ischemic strokes occur when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain, while hemorrhagic strokes happen when a blood vessel ruptures, causing bleeding in or around the brain. TIAs, often called "mini-strokes," are temporary interruptions of blood flow that typically last only a few minutes but can indicate a higher risk of a future stroke. Each type requires different treatments and response strategies.
