A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a disturbance of the flow of blood to an area of the brain, resulting in neurological effects. The effects of a transient ischemic attack generally last less than twenty-four hours. However, statistically, an individual who has had a TIA will have recurrent TIA attacks during their life. And many of those same individuals will eventually have a stroke due to nerve cell destruction. Transient ischemic attacks are the result of blood clots within the brain. The small blood clots usually form due to blockages within the carotid arteries and travel to the brain. However, blocked carotid arteries are not the only cause for TIAs. For instance, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and heart disease are also known to be the cause of transient ischemic attacks. Treatment options for an individual will depend on the underlying diagnosis for the blood clot formations.
