CVA

Question 1

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

Answer 1

linked to atherosclerotic thrombosis which causes a temporary interruption of blood supply to an area of the brain

Question 2

Ischemic Stroke - Embolus

Answer 2

Embolus (solid, liquid, or gas) travels through the bloodstream to the cerebral arteries causing occlusion of a blood vessel and resultant infarct.

• MCA is most commonly affected
• often presents as a headache

Question 3

Ischemic Stroke - Thrombus

Answer 3

An atherosclerotic plaque develops in an artery and eventually occludes the artery of a branching artery causing an infarct.
- usually occurs during sleep or upon waking after a MI or post surgical procedure

Question 4

Hemorrhage Stroke

Answer 4

bleeding in the brain due to a rupture in blood supply, usually associated with hypertension.

• presents as severe headache, vomiting, high blood pressure, and has an abrupt onset of symptoms.
• usually occurs during the day
