Cerebral vascular accidents also known as stroke cannot be prevented in most cases, as they cannot be predicted. For patients with high blood pressure, medications can help prevent strokes.
Cerebral vascular pathology can appear as vessel narrowing or dilation, abnormal vascular connections, aneurysms, or stroke-related changes. In some cases, vascular pathology may lead to areas of restricted blood flow or abnormal vessel permeability, which can be visualized on imaging studies like CT or MRI scans. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or computed tomography angiography (CTA) may also be used to specifically evaluate the anatomy and blood flow within the cerebral vessels.
If I suspect a patient is having a cerebral vascular accident, I would first assess their vital signs and perform a neurological examination. I would also arrange for urgent medical evaluation and imaging studies such as a CT scan to confirm the diagnosis. Time is critical in stroke management, so early intervention is crucial to minimize potential brain damage.
Living a "heart-healthy lifestyle" is the best way of preventing and controlling vascular disease: do not smoke; eat nutritious foods low in fat; exercise; maintain a healthy weight; and control risk factors.

Measures taken to prevent hypertension and reduce cholesterol and atherosclerosis will also help prevent cerebral vascular insufficiency.
Cerebral vascular insufficiency is defined as insufficient blood flow to the brain.

An average of over 150,000 accidents are prevented each day.
They are classically called cerebral vascular accidents. There are many types of reasons for a stroke. They are an trauma to the brain, a thrombus or clot, rupturing of a blood vessel, or severe to a part of the brain.

A cerebral Vascular Accident (stroke)
Cerebral vascular pathology can appear as vessel narrowing or dilation, abnormal vascular connections, aneurysms, or stroke-related changes. In some cases, vascular pathology may lead to areas of restricted blood flow or abnormal vessel permeability, which can be visualized on imaging studies like CT or MRI scans. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or computed tomography angiography (CTA) may also be used to specifically evaluate the anatomy and blood flow within the cerebral vessels.
Cerebral infarction (CI) is a severe condition caused by a focal vascular occlusion in an area of the brain. This causes an area of destruction resulting from a lack of oxygen delivery.
