I am a healthy, fit 42-year-old who runs every other day and plays soccer. I had a short (10 second) slurred speech episode over a year ago, which resulted in a host of tests (brain scan, heart/carotid artery ultrasound) concluding with a TOE to check for any heart abnormalities.

Q: My mum is getting older (she’s 81) and loves living in the family home. I see her once or twice a week and try to help where I can, but I find myself worrying about her in between visits as she is getting a bit frail.

Does this mean there is now a test available and should I take it? I am 67 and in good health but would like to know if there was a problem awaiting me.
