A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a medical emergency in which there is atemporary
diminishment or cessation of blood flow to an area of the brain, causing neurological

considered an indication of an impending stroke. HTN refers tohypertension which does not
cause unilateral signs. The same is true for a heart attack(MI). A CVA is a cerebral vascular
accident, which is another name for a stroke.
