Cerebrovascular disease is any
disease by which the arteries in the brain, or are
connected to the brain, are defective. All diseases
related to artery dysfunction can be classified under
a disease as known as Macrovascular disease. Arteries
may become 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 a person during a cerebrovascular accident.
During a cerebrovascular accident, sensory to interneural
transmission to motor transmission is cut off because
the sensitive blood vessels cannot reach sensitive
cells. Also, involuntary control of the muscles may
be lost, depending on the type of stroke the victim
is encountering. Another form of cerebrovascular
disease includes aneurysms. If bleeding can occur
in this process, the resulting effect is a stroke.
This disease can also result from embolism, or
a ruptured blood vessel. Embolism blocks small arteries
within the brain, causing dysfunction to occur. Spontaneously,
a hemorrhage can occur. A hemorrhage is a blood clot
from blood vessel rupture, which causes bleeding
in the brain.
