Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stroke is a condition where there is a disruption of blood supply to the brain, leading to injury or death of brain cells and subsequent loss or impairment of bodily function. A heart attack refers to a similar condition affecting the heart, while a headache is a common symptom that can have various causes, including tension, migraine or illness. Cerebrovascular disease is a term used to describe any condition affecting the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain, including strokes. However, it is not specific to the consequences of insufficient blood supply, as it also includes conditions where the blood vessels have become damaged or blocked for other reasons.
