What is the pathophysiology of Transient Ischemic Attack (mini Stroke) disease processes?
Homework Answers
A transient ischemic attack is brain ischemia causes transient neurologic deficits. It is not a permanent brain infraction. It may be caused by several reasons they are
- Atherosclerosis
- inflammation
- arterial dissection
- venous thrombosis
- embolus from heart or brain
- rupture of blood vessels in the subarachnoid space or intracerebral space
The most common type is a clot that blocks the blood supply to the part of the brain. Also, the cholesterol-containing fatty deposits dislodge in the arteries and block the oxygen supply to the brain causing transient ischemic attack but no permanent damage occurs.

3) Thirteen percent of the patients in a study reported previous episodes of stroke or transient ischemic attack. Use 10 percent as the estimate of the prevalence of stroke or transient ischemic attack within a population. If 90 subjects are chosen at random from the population, what is the probability that 8 percent or less would report an incidence of stroke or transient ischemic attack?

A stroke is serious, just like a heart attack, so it's important
to know the signs of stroke and act quickly if you suspect someone
is having one. Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the
United States, and causes more serious long-term disabilities than
any other disease. Older people are at higher risk. You can take
steps to lower your chance of having a stroke.
