- Stroke — Acronym for Cardiovascular Accident or Stroke (Accident Vascular Cerebral), an acute and extremely severe medical condition that occurs when the blood flow to a part of the brain is suddenly interrupted or reduced (ischemic stroke) or when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, causing bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). This deprivation of oxygen and nutrients leads to the rapid death of nerve cells in the affected area, manifesting through paralysis, speech impediments, loss of balance, and requiring emergency medical assistance.
