TL;DR: A natural history study is urgently needed to determine the incidence, predictive factors, and natural history of asymptomatic carotid disease in patients undergoing contemporary cardiac surgical interventions to inform the design of any future randomized trial.
Journal Article
Risk prediction after TIA: the ABCD system and other methods.
TL;DR: The ABCD system (Age, Blood pressure, Clinical features, Duration of symptoms) is a clinical score that can be rapidly worked out at the time of presentation and reliably predicts early risk of stroke.

Ursula G. Schulz,Rebecca H. Mason,Sonya Craig,Sally C Howard,Deborah J Nicoll,Malcolm Kohler,Peter M. Rothwell,John Stradling +7 more
