ABCD² score
ABCD2 score: a seven-point clinical tool (age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration, diabetes) predicting early stroke risk after transient ischemic attack; pooled AUC 0.72, superseded by ABCD3-I and the Canadian TIA Score.
Transient ischemic attack
A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, is a brief episode of stroke-like neurological symptoms, such as facial drooping and arm weakness, that resolves within minutes to hours.
Transient visual loss
Transient visual loss (TVL), including amaurosis fugax, is temporary monocular or binocular vision loss, usually from retinal ischemia due to carotid thromboemboli; it is a TIA requiring urgent stroke workup.
