Course overview
A stroke, also referred to as a cerebrovascular event, is a neurological event that causes damage to the brain. Stroke is caused by a large, sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain, and can result in severe, irreversible neurological damage. A stroke victim may permanently lose the ability to speak, walk, or live independently. Blood clots and bleeding are the basic causes of strokes and involve specific risk factors. Strokes can be prevented by identifying risk factors and by making healthy lifestyle choices. Get Unlimited CEUs for only $19.99 at cnaZone.com.
