Overview

Accident A Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), commonly known as a stroke, is a medical condition caused by an interruption in the blood supply to the brain. This interruption can be caused by a clot blocking an artery or a burst vessel. A CVA can cause physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments, including difficulty speaking, weakness in one side of the body, vision loss, memory loss, and difficulty with activities of daily life. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are necessary to improve the outlook for someone with a CVA, so recognizing the signs and symptoms of a stroke is vital. Treatment for a CVA may include medications to prevent further damage, physical and occupational therapy to restore function, lifestyle changes to reduce risk factors, and surgery to treat underlying conditions.
