Approximately 700,000 strokes occur in the United States every year. A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted. A stroke is often called a CVA, or cerebrovascular accident; however, a stroke is usually caused by an underlying disorder and is therefore no accident. More recently, the term ‘brain attack’ is used due to the similarities between a stroke and a heart attack. As with a heart attack, the most common form of brain attack occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes clogged, cutting off the oxygen to the brain, resulting in death of brain cells.
