Accidente isquémico transitorio (AIT)
Nombres alternativos:
Mini derrame cerebral; Accidente cerebrovascular pequeño
Prevención:
La prevención del AIT comprende el control de los factores de riesgo. La hipertensión, la diabetes, la cardiopatÃa y otros trastornos asociados deben tratarse adecuadamente y se debe suspender el consumo de tabaco.
El uso de anticoagulantes puede prevenir los accidentes cerebrovasculares en algunos pacientes que presentan coágulos sanguÃneos o fibrilación auricular.
La terapia con aspirina (81 mg al dÃa o 100 mg cada dos dÃas) actualmente se recomienda para la prevención de accidente cerebrovascular en mujeres menores de 65 años, en tanto los beneficios superen los riesgos. Las mujeres de más de 65 años deben tomar aspirina para prevenir un ataque cardÃaco y accidente cerebrovascular únicamente si su presión arterial está controlada y si el beneficio es mayor al riesgo de sangrado gastrointestinal y hemorragia cerebral .
La endarterectomÃa carotÃdea puede prevenir el accidente cerebrovascular en ciertos pacientes.
