Cerebrovascular Accident or CVA
Commonly called a stroke, cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a sudden impairment of cerebral circulation in one or more of the blood vessels supplying the brain. CVA interrupts or diminishes oxygen supply and often causes serious damage or necrosis in brain tissues.
The sooner circulation returns to normal after CVA, the better chances are for complete recovery. However,about half of those who survive a CVA remain permanently disabled and experience a recurrence within weeks, months, or years.
