What is a CVA what caues it?

A Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), commonly known as a stroke, occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, causing brain cells to die. This can be caused by a blockage of a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Risk factors include high blood pressure, Diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, and certain heart conditions. Timely medical intervention is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve recovery outcomes.
