Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research project aims at contributing to improve TIA diagnosis and management by using PREDISC scores and specific biomarkers thought to have elevated levels in TIA patients. A swift and accurate TIA diagnosis allows starting treatment of the patient adequately and shortly after the event. The shorter the time between the event and treatment onset, the better the outcome. This approach will be an important step forward in TIA diagnosis and management, similarly to acute coronary syndrome as discussed above.
