Carotid arteries: Your BP is ok. Ck was high. Nonspecific. What was troponin? Mri of brain ok. Second TIA needs carotid artery evaluation for stenosis with duplex and also 24 hour holter monitor to see irregular heart rhythm. Both can be done by your doctor. Good luck and wish you good health.

Arrythmia: Heart rhythm abnormality such as atrial fibrillation can be a cause for recurrent tias with otherwise controlled risk factors. Ask your doctor if you qualify for heart monitor for detection of atrial fibrillation.
