Hard to know: While earlier diagnosis will lead to different options than a completed stroke will,afford, their is no way to know for certain if THIS outcome would have varied significantly. Statistics are based on larger groups, and he is a case of 1. One thing for certain, he is at a much greater risk for 2nd stroke, and requires significant preventative care to avoid further neurological injury.
