• Clinical appointments due to CI should be considered as an opportunity to check and better control of vascular risk factors

• Brain imaging (made in the context of CI) should be reviewed to verify existence of cerebrovascular disease

• In the case of cerebrovascular component highly suspected/not clear after CT, an MRI should be considered (namely if doubt about hemorrhagic component including microbleeds and cSS, small acute lesions, specific profiles as familiar -e.g.CADASIL, or extension of WMC and SVD)

• Specific investigations should be considered in acute lesions, recurrent and multiple strokes (namely neck and intracranial artery imaging and cardiac study)
