What is a cerebrovascular accident?

What causes a cerebral vascular artery (CVA)?
A CVA occurs when there is an abnormality in blood flow in the blood vessels of the brain. This can include obstruction or bleeding, and it may affect cerebral arteries, veins, or capillaries. There are many different risk factors for CVA. Some risk factors are more likely to cause some types of CVA than others.
What is the difference between a stroke and a cerebral vascular event?
The term cerebral refers to the brain tissue. A CVA refers to a vascular event in the brain. A stroke refers to brain damage due to a vascular event, and these terms are often interchangeable. A CVA is an emergency that is often treatable if detected promptly, and rapid treatment can reduce or prevent stroke damage.
