What is Types of Cerebrovascular Accidents about?
Cerebrovascular accidents, commonly known as strokes, are caused by an interruption of blood flow to areas of the brain. There are two main types of strokes - ischemic, caused by a clot blocking an artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding within the brain from a ruptured blood vessel. Risk factors for strokes include hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, and high cholesterol. Prompt treatment is important to minimize neurological damage from a stroke.
