Transient Ischaemic Attacks of the Brain and Eye

by Graeme J. Hankey

Transient Ischaemic Attacks are an important clinical syndrome which indicates an increased risk of major ischaemic stroke and other serious vascular events. In this fully up-to-date volume, the authors provide the clinician with valuable information on the pathophysiological basis of TIAs as well as practical guidance on differential diagnosis, investigation and treatment. They also review and analyse the latest epidemiological information on risk factors and prognosis. This is the only comprehensive resource concerning TIAs exclusively and, drawing on the authors' own broad experience in this area, the book is both an authoritative practical guide and an exhaustive review that gives a unique insight into this fascinating clinical phenomenon.
