Cerebrovascular disease
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cerebrovascular disease is damage to the blood vessels in the brain, resulting in a stroke. The blood vessels can become blocked because of fat deposits, or a wandering blood clot, blocking the flow of blood to a part of the brain. Sometimes, the blood vessels may leak, break, or burst, resulting in a hemorrhagic stroke. People with diabetes are at higher risk of cerebrovascular disease.
