Mackenzie Health's TSN Clinic is for people who have had signs and symptoms of a stroke that if untreated may lead to a stroke. It is also meant for those who have experienced a stroke and require ongoing care to prevent a second stroke. This information will help to answer questions about your visit to the TSN clinic.

At the TSN clinic
  • We provide rapid access to assessment and investigation of the underlying cause of Transient Ischemic Attack/Minor Non-Disabling Stroke (TIA/MNDS);
  • We initiate interventions based on current best practices to address risk factors and the underlying cause, working in a timely manner to prevent a full stroke.
  • We provide education on lifestyle and risk management, stroke prevention and warning signs for stroke;
  • We facilitate referral of appropriate patients to local cardiovascular rehabilitation services for ongoing secondary prevention and chronic disease management;
  • We facilitate linkage to community programs for secondary prevention and chronic disease management.

If you are not able to keep your appointment, please call the clinic at 905-883-1212 x 7721 within 24 hours of your visit.

What tests will I have?

You may be asked to have:

Blood work: The blood work will test your cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels and test kidney and liver function.

A carotid doppler: The carotid doppler is an ultrasound of major arteries of your neck, which supply your brain with oxygen-rich blood. This test will look for narrowing or blockages in these vessels.

An echocardiogram: The echocardiogram is an ultrasound of your heart to check its size and how it pumps, and looks for the presence of blood clots.

A holter monitor: The holter monitor is a portable monitor, consisting of electrodes worn on the chest for 24 or 48 hours during normal daily activities, including work. It records your heart's rhythm and checks for abnormal heartbeats that could lead to blood clots.
