A cerebro-vascular accident is when a blood vessel is cut and supply of blood to a certain part of the brain is lost (cerebro-cerebral and vascular-vessel). Due to the body's self preservation methods, the connections in the brain that are broken by the dead area of the brain make new connections. This can change a persons character or even their physical ability as the brain attempts to repair itself.

Is a cardiovascular attack and a stroke the same thing?

No, they are not the same thing. The radicals "cardio" and "vascular" indicate that the heart and blood vessels are concerned. A cardiovascular is an obsolete term for a heart attack (also known as myocardial infarction or coronary thrombosis). A heart attack occurs when a section of heart muscle dies. A heart attack is life threatening and may result in cardiac arrest if no treatment is provided urgently. A stroke affects the brain and its system of blood vessels. Other terms for stroke include cerebro-vascular accident or transient ischaemic attack. A stroke can occur if a blood vessel in the brain has burst, or if there is an obstruction in one of the blood vessels in the brain. This condition is also life threatening. While both diseases are life threatening, they are not the same thing.
