TIA portends an increased risk for ischemic stroke. This risk can be reduced by >50% with early implementation of stroke prevention therapy.1 Stroke risk in TIA can be estimated using the ABCD2 score, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and presence of large arterial atherosclerosis (LAA).2 However, not infrequently TIAs deemed to be low risk precede stroke and TIAs deemed to be high risk do not. Thus additional methods to stratify stroke risk in TIA are needed.
