Webcast Transcript

Sacco, in closing for our audience relative to TIAs or brain attacks?

RALPH L. SACCO, MD: I think the key is recognition first. Recognize. Know the warning symptoms like we've identified. If you've had them, get some medical attention. Also, think about risk factors. You can prevent stroke. There are clearly risk factors our there. We've identified them and there are ways of managing and reducing your risk of stroke by just simple things, like changing your lifestyle. If everybody just did one thing, they will reduce the risk and make a big difference in terms of reducing the burden of stroke in the future.

PAUL J. MONIZ: All right. Some very important information and hopeful information as well. Dr. Dara Jamieson from Pennsylvania Hospital, thank you very much, and Dr. Ralph Sacco of Columbia University. Thanks for your time.

We hope that you have learned some important information about TIA or brain attacks. Remember if you suspect you may have had one, either recently or perhaps several months ago, contact your doctor. Thanks for joining us.
