Even though symptoms disappear quickly and leave no permanent damage, a TIA is a serious warning sign that a stroke could happen soon.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/2025\/04\/29\/mini-stroke-are-you-at-risk\/#espanol\">Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Each year, about 240,000 people in the U.S. experience a TIA. Nearly one in five of them will have a stroke within three months\u2014often within just 48 hours. With advanced brain scans, two in five people who thought they had a TIA will find out it was actually a stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Difference Between a TIA and a Stroke<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The key difference between a TIA and a stroke is how long the brain is deprived of blood. A stroke causes a prolonged loss of blood flow, which leads to brain cell death and often results in lasting disability. A TIA is brief and doesn\u2019t cause permanent injury\u2014but it\u2019s a red flag that future strokes are more likely.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cBesides a higher risk of a stroke following a TIA, we know that TIAs can reoccur, especially if the root cause is not addressed,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/jesse-thon-md\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Jesse M.

Aunque los s\u00edntomas desaparecen r\u00e1pidamente y no dejan da\u00f1os permanentes, un AIT es una se\u00f1al de alerta importante de que un accidente cerebrovascular podr\u00eda ocurrir pronto.<\/p>\n<p>Cada a\u00f1o, alrededor de 240,000 personas en U.S. experimentan un <span data-contrast=\"auto\">TIA<\/span>. Casi una de cada cinco personas sufrir\u00e1 un accidente cerebrovascular en un plazo de tres meses, a menudo en tan solo 48 horas. Con esc\u00e1neres cerebrales avanzados, dos de cada cinco personas que cre\u00edan haber tenido un <span data-contrast=\"auto\">TIA<\/span> descubrir\u00e1n que en realidad fue un accidente cerebrovascular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La diferencia entre un <span data-contrast=\"auto\">TIA<\/span> y un ictus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La diferencia clave entre un <span data-contrast=\"auto\">TIA<\/span> y un ictus radica en el tiempo que el cerebro permanece privado de sangre. Un ictus causa una p\u00e9rdida prolongada del flujo sangu\u00edneo, lo que provoca la muerte de las c\u00e9lulas cerebrales y, a menudo, una discapacidad permanente. Un <span data-contrast=\"auto\">TIA<\/span> es breve y no causa lesiones permanentes, pero es una se\u00f1al de alerta de que es m\u00e1s probable que se produzcan ictus en el futuro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdem\u00e1s de un mayor riesgo de ictus tras un <span data-contrast=\"auto\">TIA<\/span>, sabemos que los <span data-contrast=\"auto\">TIA<\/span> pueden reaparecer, especialmente si no se aborda la causa ra\u00edz\u201d, afirma el <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/jesse-thon-md\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Jesse M.

Los s\u00edntomas suelen durar menos de 24 horas, a menudo solo unos minutos. Sin embargo, la corta duraci\u00f3n de un TIA no significa que sea inofensivo. Los s\u00edntomas comunes de un TIA incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Debilidad o entumecimiento repentinos, especialmente en un lado del cuerpo.<\/li>\n<li>Dificultad para hablar o dificultad para hablar.<\/li>\n<li>P\u00e9rdida temporal de la visi\u00f3n en uno o ambos ojos.<\/li>\n<li>Mareos, inestabilidad o p\u00e9rdida del equilibrio.<\/li>\n<li>Confusi\u00f3n o dificultad para comprender a los dem\u00e1s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>El hecho de que los s\u00edntomas se resuelvan por s\u00ed solos en cuesti\u00f3n de minutos u horas no significa que deba ignorarlos.<\/p>\n<p>Recuerde: \u00a1SEA R\u00c1PIDO! Esta gu\u00eda es fundamental para reconocer los s\u00edntomas de un accidente cerebrovascular y un AIT y las medidas necesarias:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Problemas de equilibrio.<\/li>\n<li>Cambios oculares (p\u00e9rdida de visi\u00f3n).<\/li>\n<li>Ca\u00edda del rostro.<\/li>\n<li>Debilidad en los brazos.<\/li>\n<li>Dificultad para hablar.<\/li>\n<li>Es hora de llamar al 911.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Diagn\u00f3stico<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si experimenta s\u00edntomas de un TIA, su m\u00e9dico probablemente le solicitar\u00e1 pruebas como una tomograf\u00eda cerebral, an\u00e1lisis card\u00edacos y an\u00e1lisis de sangre para determinar la causa y prevenir futuros accidentes cerebrovasculares. Las pruebas de imagen, como una tomograf\u00eda computarizada o una resonancia magn\u00e9tica, pueden ayudar a descartar un accidente cerebrovascular, mientras que los an\u00e1lisis card\u00edacos y de sangre detectan factores de riesgo como co\u00e1gulos o colesterol alto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLas pruebas neurol\u00f3gicas y f\u00edsicas nos ayudan a determinar la causa de un TIA e iniciar el tratamiento adecuado para reducir el riesgo de un accidente cerebrovascular grave\u201d, afirma el Dr. Thon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tratamiento y prevenci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Una vez diagnosticado un TIA, el enfoque se centra en la prevenci\u00f3n de futuros TIA o accidentes cerebrovasculares.
