Transient cerebral ischemic attacks in the young and middle aged. A population study.
During an investigation of coronary risk factors, a population 20 to 54 years old in Tromsø, Northern Norway was screened for transient ischemic cerebral attacks. Three simple screening questions were used. Sixteen thousand six hundred and twenty-one subjects participated in the study. Among the res...
