While Isaacs (1983)‚ Thompson (1987) ‚ defined a cerebrovascular accident as a sudden attack of weakness affecting one side of the body‚ resulting from an interruption to the flow of blood to the brain (by thrombosis‚ embolus or ruptured aneurysm).

There are different types of strokes‚ for example there is thrombotic or embolic occlusion resulting in infarction

However‚ coronary heart disease‚ or CHD‚ is actually a result of coronary artery disease‚ or CAD.

Pernicious Anemia and its association to orthostatic hypertension Pernicious anemia is the major form of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is caused by serum antibodies against intrinsic factor which leads to B12 deficiency rather than by B12 deficiency itself. Absorption of vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor which is secreted by parietal cells. Pernicious anemia is marked by autoimmune attack on gastric mucosa and a loss in parietal cells. Approximately 75% of the affected patients have type I antibody

and subtypes of stroke Stroke can be broadly classified in two major clinical types: hemorrhagic stroke (bleedings) and ischemic strokes (Clots). Ischemic strokes are sometimes also denoted ‘cerebral infarctions’ and are caused by either cerebral thrombosis or embolism and account for 50-85% of all strokes worldwide. Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracerebral hemorrhage and account for 1-7% and 7-27% respectively of all strokes worldwide
