AB This article discusses the results from a subanalysis of data from the REGARDS study, which assessed the risk of incident stroke among REGARDS participants with self-reported stroke-like symptoms but with no diagnosis of prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). The aim of the subanalysis was to determine if a previous undiagnosed stroke or TIA could be an independent predictor of stroke risk.
