Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident
Ischemic CVA, Ischemic Stroke, Stroke, Brain infarct, Cerebral Ischemia, Thrombotic Stroke, Embolic Stroke
An ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA), or stroke, occurs when a blood clot or other blockage cuts off blood flow to part of the brain. This lack of blood supply deprives brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients, causing cells to die within minutes. Symptoms include sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, vision changes, and loss of coordination. Rapid recognition and treatment are critical, as therapies like IV tPA or mechanical thrombectomy can restore blood flow and improve outcomes if given within the appropriate time window. Risk factors include high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, smoking, and high cholesterol.
