1) A CVA, or cerebrovascular accident, is a non-traumatic vascular event that causes a sudden neurological deficit.
2) Risk factors for CVA include modifiable lifestyle factors like smoking, hypertension, and obesity as well as non-modifiable factors like age, sex, and family history.
3) CVAs can be classified temporally, based on pathophysiology (ischemic vs. hemorrhagic), and by affected neuroanatomy such as the middle cerebral artery.
