(Indiana University) Indiana U. researcher Marieke Van Puymbroeck found that a modified version of cardiac rehabilitation was effective at reducing some symptoms of stroke in just six weeks following a transient ischemic attack (TIA) often referred to as “mini strokes.” No post-TIA regimen exists to help prevent future strokes — something that Van Puymbroeck says needs to change. She discussed her study during a press conference at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2010.
