The key is C. CT head. [Patient on digoxin means he is being treated for atrial fibrillation with heart
failure and the cause of TIA is cardiac in origine! So carotid dopplar or carotid angiography is not the
answer. Again for TIA investigation of choice is MRI (if not available CT) NICE guideline. So for this
question definitive investigation is CT scan].
