Cerebrovascular accident (CVA), commonly known as a stroke, is called so because it involves a sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to neurological impairment. This "accident" can occur due to either a blockage (ischemic stroke) or a rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). The term emphasizes the acute nature of the event and its immediate, often serious consequences on brain function. Thus, "stroke" encapsulates the urgency and severity of this medical emergency.
