What are the recommended follow-up protocols for patients diagnosed with TGA in primary care?

The provided UK guideline excerpts do not specify recommended follow-up protocols for patients diagnosed with transient global amnesia (TGA).

However, the guidelines do provide protocols for other transient neurological events:

• Transient Loss of Consciousness (TLoC): Initial assessment involves gathering detailed information about the event, obtaining patient history, performing a physical examination, and recording a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) ¹. If an ECG abnormality is present (e.g., conduction abnormality, long/short QT interval, ST segment/T wave abnormalities), or if there are other red flags, an urgent cardiovascular assessment by a specialist within 24 hours is required ¹. General advice on driving eligibility and health and safety at work should also be provided to people who have experienced TLoC ¹.
• Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA): For suspected TIA, patients should be offered aspirin (300 mg daily) immediately, unless contraindicated ². An immediate referral for specialist assessment and investigation is required, with the patient seen within 24 hours of symptom onset ². Secondary prevention measures should be offered as soon as the TIA diagnosis is confirmed ².
