Patients with transient ischemic attacks had significantly higher overall mortality over six years compared to those with minor ischemic stroke (44% vs 20%, p<0.0006).

Supports heightened CV surveillance post-TIA; leaves open whether targeted interventions alter survival versus minor stroke.
Cohort (n=209)
Absolute Event Rate: 44% vs 20%
p-value: p=<0.0006
Patients with TIA have a significantly higher long-term mortality rate, primarily driven by myocardial infarction, compared to those with minor stroke, highlighting the need for aggressive cardiovascular risk reduction in this population.
Falke et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Transient ischemic attack and minor ischemic stroke (n=209). Transient ischemic attack vs. Minor ischemic stroke was evaluated on Overall mortality (p=<0.0006). Patients with transient ischemic attacks had significantly higher overall mortality over six years compared to those with minor ischemic stroke (44% vs 20%, p<0.0006).
