A method for the in vitro diagnosis of stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) in an individual, including the following steps: (a) measuring the level of proBNP(1-108), or of fragments of proBNP(1-108) including a RAPRSP sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1), in a biological sample of the individual; (b) measuring the level of nucleoside diphosphate kinase A (NDKA) in a biological sample of the individual; (c) comparing the level of proBNP(1-108), or of fragments of proBNP(1-108), and the level of NDKA, with one or several cut-off values; and (d) determining therefrom whether a stroke or a TIA has occurred in the individual.
