Overview

The concept of TIA was first discussed in 1950 by Charles Miller Fischer based on the observation that transient ischemic stroke in patients may lead to stroke in the same arterial territory in the future. He also proposed that treatment and prevention of transient ishemic attack may help prevent the patient from full blown stroke in the future. [1]
