Recovery from an initial mild ischemic insult could
influence the susceptibility of the brain to a second
insult. We assessed brain damage using magnetic
resonance imaging and histology comparing brain damage
produced by a combination of two mild transient ischemic
insults with intervals of either 1 day, 2 day, 3 day or
1 week. A recurrent mild PT enhanced the tissue damage
and this enhancement was greater with a short recovery
(1-3d) versus a longer recovery (1w) between insults.
This indicates that brain is most susceptible to a
second mild ischemic insult for several days after a
first insult.
