A cardiovascular accident, or stroke, means a lack of blood flow to a part of the brain usually caused by a blood clot, an aneurysm that burst or trauma to the brain, causing brain cells to die.



In most cases, the symptoms affect one side of the body depending on what side of the brain the stroke occurred.
