What Is Mild Stroke?

Published:April 28, 2017DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apmr.2017.03.004
      Persons who experience mild stroke typically have a short hospital stay and will show symptoms of stroke that last longer than a day. Most likely the symptoms will go away after a short period. If the symptoms of stroke last <24 hours, this is usually called a transient ischemic attack. If brain lesions are detected by a brain scan (diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography) at the hospital,
