Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Age equal to or older than 18 years 2. Ischaemic event (infarction/Transient Ischaemic Attack [TIA]) within two weeks 3. Diagnosis of infarction or TIA Infarction: a. sudden or rapid onset of focal ischaemic neurological impairments by all kinds of reasons b. the impairments last more than 24 hours TIA: a. sudden or rapid onset of focal ischaemic neurological impairments by all kinds of reasons b. the impairments are within 24 hours (the diagnosis could be made if the patient have one of the symptoms: amaurosis fugax, dysphasia, movement disorder such as weakness or clumsiness; but such symptoms as diplopia, scintillation, scotosis, vertigo, memory disorder and ataxia cannot support the diagnoses; the symptoms that may be caused by migraine are ruled out) 4. No matter which one it is, all have either a Computed Tomography (CT) or a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, to preclude haemorrhage or other non-ischaemic nerve system diseases 5. All the diagnoses have been confirmed and registered by the research centre neurologist 6. Patient resident in Beijing for at least one year 7. Patient consents to follow up for at least one year 8. Mechanism of the event is probably infarction/TIA due to artery scleratheroma 9. More than one modifiable risk factors of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) 10. The case collected in each research centre should be consecutive. Even the patients who qualified but reject to join in, should also be added in the sum and registered with the basic items such as name, sex, age
