00:01 So, let's wrap this video series up. 00:03 In transient ischemic attacks, known as TIAs, are caused by an interruption of the blood flow to a local portion of the brain. 00:12 Now TIAs are an early warning sign and you should seek immediate medical evaluation because the patient is at an increased risk for having a real stroke. 00:21 Medical evaluation will help you identify the underlying cause of the TIA. 00:25 So, together, the healthcare team and the patient can plan the most effective treatment options to help minimize the risk of developing a stroke. 00:33 Thank you for watching our video today. 00:36 I hope you enjoyed learning about the testing that we do for TIAs and will implement that in your own plan of care.
