Can stroke and TIA survivors avoid further stroke using a new system for lowering blood pressure?
People who have survived a previous stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) are at particularly high risk of subsequent, ‘recurrent’ stroke with 30% having another stroke in the following five years. High blood pressure is the most important reversible risk factor for having a recurrent stroke.
Discussing the Real Impact of TIA

Our round-table meetings aim to share knowledge arising from our funded research and create debate about the implications for health and social care policy and practice.
Does variability of brain blood flow increase stroke risk in stroke survivors and after TIA?
This research is focused on assessing the relationship between the variability of the blood flow through the blood vessels supplying the brain, and the risk of stroke in patients who have already had a stroke or “mini-stroke” (TIA) in the past.
KeMiST (Kent Medicine Support in Stroke and TIA)
Most stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA) survivors are asked to take medicines, which some can find difficult. However, taking the medicines prescribed after a stroke, or TIA, and following lifestyle advice can reduce the chance of another stroke by 80%.
