Features of Transient Ischemic Attacks Based on Age and Concomitant Pathology

Abstract

This article explores the clinical and epidemiological features of transient ischemic attacks (TIA) with a focus on age-related patterns and the influence of concomitant pathologies. Drawing on clinical observations and statistical analysis, the study investigates how TIA manifests differently across age groups—young adults, middle-aged individuals, and the elderly—while also examining how co-existing conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea affect symptomatology and prognosis. The findings suggest that TIA presentation, duration, and risk of progression to ischemic stroke are influenced not only by biological age but also by the cumulative burden of comorbid conditions. The article also evaluates diagnostic approaches, laboratory findings, and imaging strategies, underscoring the necessity for timely and individualized intervention. The results support the development of more targeted prevention and rehabilitation strategies based on age and risk profiles to reduce the burden of cerebrovascular disease.
