It is also known as cerebral infarction or stroke. Rupture of an artery with bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage) is called a CVA, too. If the symptoms are temporary, usually lasting less than an hour without permanent brain damage, the event is called a transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Does Tia lead to CVA?
About 1 in 3 people who has a TIA goes on to experience a subsequent stroke. The risk of stroke is especially high within 48 hours after a TIA . The symptoms of a TIA are similar to those of a stroke and include: Numbness or muscle weakness, usually on one side of the body.
What are the 2 types of CVA?
- Ischemic stroke.
- Hemorrhagic stroke.
- Transient ischemic attack (a warning or “mini-stroke”).
