title: Cardiovascular mortality in transient ischemic attacks.
abstract: Statistical analyses were made of the mortality of persons diagnosed as having definite TIA in an epidemiologic survey of a biracial Southern community. None of the usual risk factors associated with this illness such as heart disease, hypertension or diabetes appears to account for the excess deaths observed in a 10 year period of follow up.
