... Abstract Few epidemiologic data are available regarding the prevalence and incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA). Here, the incidence of TIA and that of subsequent stroke events were reviewed. The incidences of TIA in Europe were 0.52-2.37 and 0.05-1.14 in men and women aged 55-64, 0.94...
