Answer to Question 1

A cerebral vascular accident (or stroke) is caused by interrupted blood flow to the brain as the result of a blockage or hemorrhage of a cerebral artery. These blocks may be related to atherosclerosis. The impact of a CVA can include cognitive impairment, loss of speech, or physical impairment (e.g., cannot move an arm) depending on the area of the brain that was affected. A transient ischemic attack involves an interruption of the blood flow to the brain and can be an early warning sign of a stroke. Vascular dementia results from a series of small CVAs. It can have a sudden onset and nongradual progression. It tends to result in neurological and psychological damage and can lead to death.
