Previous reports suggest the probability of stroke after TIA as 20 percent in the first year and 45 percent within five years. Forty-five TIA victims were treated in a stroke prevention program for an average of five years. Efforts were made to correct or control all risk factors. Eight of the 45 experienced further TIA'S, Three had subsequent strokes and two had myocardial infarctions. Two deaths were reported. This stroke prevention program offers an improved prognosis for victims of TIA.
