Sam K. Saha: A TIA Is A Warning Shot From A System On The Brink of Failure
Sam K. Saha, VP of Medical Operations and Technology at Sevaro, shared on LinkedIn:
”The most dangerous moment in a stroke is when symptoms disappear.
That’s when everyone relaxes, and the clock keeps ticking.
This is the TIA trap.
Someone experiences a ‘mini-stroke.’
Their speech returns, their face evens out, the numbness fades.
They think they dodged a bullet, so they go back to sleep or finish their workday.
A TIA is a warning shot from a system on the brink of failure.
Roughly 1 in 3 people who have a TIA will have a more severe permanent stroke within 1 year.
We need to stop treating TIA as a ‘follow-up with your PCP’ event.
It’s a medical emergency requiring immediate vascular imaging and aggressive intervention.
True prevention means treating the resolution of symptoms with the same intensity as the presence of symptoms.
If we don’t treat the near miss with the same urgency as the direct hit, we’re gambling with the patient’s independence.
The symptoms went away, but the danger didn’t.”
