Case Study: CVA Angel Hernandez Keiser University Ms. Gutierrez CVA Cerebrovascular accident is well known as a stroke and affects around 800‚000 people every year (Mclntosh‚ 2016). There are three types of strokes: ischemic‚ hemorrhagic and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) (Mclntosh‚ 2016). Ischemic stroke is the most prevailing type of strokes with an 85 percent average rate (Mclntosh‚ 2016). It is cause by the reduction of blood flow‚ because of a narrowed or blocked artery in the brain (Mclntosh

forerunners of stroke. Approximately 10% of patients diagnosed as having a TIA have a stroke in the 90 days following the TIA diagnosis‚ with half of them having a stroke within 2 days of the TIA. TIAs are short-lived episodes of acute‚ focal‚ nonconvulsive neurologic dysfunction presumably caused by reversible ischemia to an area of the retina or brain. Onset of symptoms is sudden and often unprovoked‚ reaching maximum intensity almost immediately. Completed Stroke A completed stroke is the term

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)‚ also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy‚ is a histologic diagnosis characterized by proliferation of the cellular elements of the prostate. Cellular accumulation and gland enlargement may result from epithelial and stromal proliferation‚ impaired preprogrammed cell death (apoptosis)‚ or both. BPH involves the stromal and epithelial elements of the prostate arising in the periurethral and transition zones of the gland. The hyperplasia

Carotid Artery Disease and Stroke Oxygenated blood is carried from the heart to the face and brain by the carotid arteries one on each side of the neck. The carotid arteries (common) bifurcate and become the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the external carotid artery (ECA). Blood supply to the brain is mainly through the internal carotid artery and the vertebral arteries (1). Blood flow to the brain is affected by carotid artery disease. Carotid artery disease is the narrowing (stenosis) or

Cerebrovascular Disease (Stroke) Closely related to number 1‚ cerebrovascular disease or stroke occurs when blood is not supplied to some parts of the brain due to blockage (ischemic stroke) or bursting (hemorrhagic stroke) of a blood vessel in the body. Seventy percent of stroke cases in the Philippines are ischemic in nature. A stroke attack happens suddenly but it can be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment of hypertension or high levels of cholesterol. While stroke commonly happens to the
