Diagnosis
At the beginning of every diagnosis is the consultation with the doctor. The doctor asks about the symptoms and thus forms an initial opinion of the clinical pictures that come into question. If the doctor suspects a PRIND, an image of the head is usually taken.
The cause of the mini-stroke is also searched for. Thus, for example, the carotid arteries are examined for changes with the help of an ultrasound device. The heart is also examined.
The doctor can listen to it with a stethoscope and write an ECG to see if it is beating regularly. He can also arrange for an ultrasound/X-ray examination of the heart. Blood pressure is also measured and blood is drawn to determine the blood lipid levels and to detect possible coagulation disorders. All possible risk factors are scanned in order to be able to treat the causes after the diagnosis is made.
