Cerebrovascular Disease

Cerebrovascular disease is any disease by which the arteries in the brain, or are connected to the brain, are defective. Primarily people whom are diabetic or have related issues have cerebrovascular disease. All diseases related to artery dysfunction can be classified under a disease as known as Macrovascular disease. This is a simplistic study by which arteries are blocked by fatty deposits or by a blood clot. The results of cerebrovascular disease can include a stroke, or even sometimes a hemorrhagic stroke.  Ischemia or other blood vessel dysfunctions can affect one during a cerebrovascular accident.

damage to blood vessels in the brain. Vessels can burst and bleed or become clogged with fatty deposits. When blood flow is interrupted, brain cells die or are damaged, resulting in a stroke.
