Neurovascular

There may not be any symptoms of carotid artery disease. However, there are warning signs of a stroke. A transient ischemic attack (also called TIA or "mini-stroke") is one of the most important warning signs of a stroke. A TIA is a temporary episode of:

• Blurred or loss of vision in one or both eyes
• Weakness and/or numbness of your arm, leg or face on one side of your body
• Slurring of speech, difficulty talking or understanding what others are saying
• Loss of coordination, dizziness or confusion
• Trouble swallowing
