What is a 'mini stroke' and what are the long-term risks?
Manage episode 477758648 series 5409
New research is revealing that what is sometimes known as a 'mini' or 'minor' stroke is not minor at all.
A study has found after one of these attacks, your risk of a regular stroke and further harm is much higher.
It highlights the need for more support for patients after they've had an attack, which could warn of more to come.
Guest/s
- Professor Stephen Davis, director of the Melbourne Brain Centre at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and University of Melbourne.
